A “through the bible” devotion from 2 Kings 5.
When Naaman is outraged when Elisha’s messenger instructs him to wash seven times in the Jordan to be healed of his leprosy, his servants wisely say, “My father, had the prophet told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it?” (2 Kings 5:13).
Naaman is outraged because he wanted the prophet Elisha to call on God, wave his hands, and heal his chronic skin disease. But he has servants who really care about him. They point out how simple the cure is.
How often is there a simple answer to our problems? More often than we like to admit. Eat healthy, exercise, get enough sleep, drink more water. It’s not rocket science is it? It rarely is.
It’s usually the little things that make the biggest difference. One philosophy says that if you improve 1% each day, you’ll be 37 times better at something in a year. One percent might mean one more minute doing something, one more repetition at the gym, one more step, one more page read, one more sentence written.
What if the answer isn’t something complicated? What if it’s something simple?
Waite for it...
