2 Kings 5:12-14
– v. 13: Naaman’s servants gently advised him, saying, "My father, if the prophet had told you to do something difficult, would you not have done it? How much more, then, when he says to you, 'Wash and be clean'?" . They reminded him that the prophet’s instructions were simple and easy. God often makes His way to blessing simple, so that no one can boast about earning it. v. 14: Naaman finally obeyed. He went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as Elisha had instructed. When he came out, his flesh was healed and became like the flesh of a young child . God honored Naaman’s obedience, even though his faith was not perfect at first. This miracle shows that God’s word is powerful, and those who follow it with humble hearts will experience His mercy.
