Thoughts on Naaman

Today was a good day despite the fact that I was functioning on little sleep. Ask me how I'm doing tomorrow. That will be the kicker. My primary lesson went well. It was all about Namaan, the leper who visited the prophet Elisha to be healed of his leprosy, then was offended when the prophet sent out a messenger to tell him to go wash himself in the river Jordan seven times. Today's application: Do we tend to discount or disregard the words of the prophet when the counsel he gives us is simple? Do we tell ourselves that if a prophet of God asked us to do something grandiose, we would certainly obey, all the while ignoring the simple counsel he is giving us today? Food for thought. But I need some sleep.
