But, I thought.
But, I thought it would happen this way.
But, I thought it should look like this.
But, I thought.
Naaman did not like the way that the prophet, the man sent of God, spoke. I Kings 5:11
Naaman thought Elisha should wave his hands and call upon the name of the Lord on behalf of Naaman's monstrous condition---leprosy. The drama wasn't enough for Naaman. The ordinary wasn't enough either. Sure, he wanted to be cured. But, he thought it had to look a certain way. And don't we default every day and balk that God has not answered or performed a healing His Way.
If only we could see what others see.
If only we could see what God sees.
And if only we could see what true love is.
And if only we would treat others to bread and water, not the strikes or put downs. I Kings 6:20-22
COME BOLDLY: Timeless Prayers
O LORD, open our eyes that we may see. I Kings 6:20
That we may see what is really happening in our lives. Don't let us miss the Grace of God this day.
