Scripture
Naaman said, “Now I know there is no god in all the earth except in Israel.”

Observation
Naaman, a high ranking officer in the army of Syria, has leprosy. His Israelite slave girl tells him that Elisha can heal him.

Naaman goes to Elisha's house were a servant greets him and tells him to bath seven times in the Jordan River.

At first Naaman is incensed by both Elisha's lack of respect for him and also the seemingly trivial nature of the command. His men talk him down and so he goes down to the Jordan River where he is healed.

Application
God's grace is beyond human comprehension.

He heals the sick, even whose whom we might consider enemies of the faith. God's grace is not constrained or limited by human behaviour.

God heals the sick without fanfare or feats of endurance. When God heals it is free of fuss and, apart from faith little is required on our part.

God saves people. Naaman moves on a journey into faith in the one true God. His past, his country of origin, his position in the enemy army- all of these are swept aside as Naaman comes to faith in the God of Israel.

Prayer
Thank you Lord that you heal the sick and save sinners. There is no limit to your grace. Amen.
