Who is God where you live? In the ancient world, every district had its deity. Israel's enemies had their gods. The problem was false gods never fail to fail.
Naaman was a good man. He also had leprosy. A little Israelite girl was a captive in Naaman's household. She knew the Lord could heal her master. Though she had been scattered by war, she remembered her God and recommended him.
Naaman found no help in the King of Israel, but Elisha, the prophet offered help. Dip in the Jordan seven times. Naaman who had bigger rivers in his homeland thought the suggestion was a ruse. Getting healed couldn't be that simple. Urged by his household servants he obeyed and found healing. With healing came faith.
Faith leads to obedience. Small acts of obedience access great blessings. One of our pastors grew up in a country with many gods. But when his Christian grandfather called upon the Lord and healed him, the whole village became Christian. We should never underestimate our God. He is the one true God. All power belongs to him. We should definitely obey him in faith today.
