2 Kings 5: 9 – 10
“So Naaman came with his horses and chariots and stood at the
door of Elisha’s house.  And Elisha sent a messenger to him,
saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times,
and your flesh shall be restored,
and you shall be clean.”

When I start reading what Elisha was doing I feel encouraged and I believe that we serve an awesome God.  Now Naaman was a commander in the army of the king of Syria and he was a leper.  They had captured a little girl from Israel and she told her master to go to the King of Israel because she knew that Naaman could be healed.

On hearing this King of Syria sent Naaman with a letter to the king of Israel with gifts asking that Naaman be healed.  Well, the King of Israel was super angry because he didn’t have the ability to heal anybody.  Elisha heard about the king tearing his clothes and Elisha said “why have you torn your clothes?”  Send Naaman to me.

Naaman came to the prophet and a messenger came out of Elisha’s house telling Naaman to go and wash seven times in the Jordan.  The man was enraged and couldn’t believe the odasity in being told to take a wash.  But Naaman’s servants said “try it what have you to lose?”

Naaman went and dipped in the Jordan seven times, he became as a little child, all the leprosy gone.

Prayer

O Lord God, we can be so obnoxious and full of it, we believe that we are able to do whatever we put our minds to.  A simple instruction seems so silly and why listen, but in being obedient You are able to do far more than what we know or imagine.  Thank You, Lord God, for supernatural blessings in our lives when we listen and obey You.  I love You, I Love You Lord, in the Holy Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Amen

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...

Wisdom in Trusting God

Proverbs 3: 5-6 NIV “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” My journey has been really interesting and there are days when I find it really difficult to trust in God.  On those days I go and make all kinds of plans and I think and worry about the matter at hand and at the end of that day I am tired, frustrated and I feel sick to my stomach.  Are you able to relate?   It sounds so easy when you read these words “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”  Many times I take my problems to the LORD and I leave them with the LORD and after some serious thinking and worrying I go back to the LORD and take the problems back. This has been something I did for a number of years and lately, I have realized it has to change, I have to trust in the LORD.  After all, God is the creator and knows the plans for...
