There is a history of the scriptures that impacts me a lot and that is that of Naaman, this man was being used by God to rule a nation, however, despite all the power and position he had he was not happy, he had leprosy.
Elisha heals Naaman
5 Naaman was a general in the army of a country called Syria. He was a very important man and the king loved him very much because, through him, God had given Syria great victories. But this brave soldier had a skin disease called leprosy.
14 Naaman went and got into the Jordan River seven times as the prophet had told him. Soon his skin was healthy and smooth like that of a child. 15 Then Naaman and all his companions returned to see Elisha. When Naaman arrived before the prophet, he said:
—Now I am sure that only in Israel is the true God worshiped. Please accept a gift from this your server.
My heart has been miserable with this word, sometimes we have so many things, material, secular and we believe that that is what makes us happy, Naaman had a family, had power but lived in isolation, because this disease was considered unclean, he felt What was inferior, what was despised, how many in the process we are living have we felt despised?
It catches my attention that God was using Naaman, he was an important man, but his ego, his faith, his obedience, his belief in himself, were being prosecuted.
There are people who are in the condition of Naaman, even with everything they possess they do not dare to hug the person they love, sometimes we think that by giving money or doing works we can buy the peace or blessings of God, notice that this man led a lot of money in grams of silver to Elisha to heal.
God had a plan with Naaman and was to break his system of thoughts, it was to show him that only by his grace can we achieve mercy, Elisha did not accept Naaman's payment, and gave him the word of how he would be healthy, at first Naaman did not accept That word, as we do, we question how God wants to do things in our lives.
It was not until Naaman descended to Jordan and plunged into its waters that it was restored.
We have to embrace the process, because God knows what is best for us, the waters of the Jordan represented for Naaman, to die to the creed paradigms in the natural system, he thought that there were better waters than that of Jordan, but God does what he wants .
Today God invites us to descend to its deep waters to be healed of all spiritual leprosy, it is in his presence that we will have the answers we need, we are not slaves to the circumstances.
We will persevere in obedience amid the difficulty, he will do !!
