“And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant.”
2 Kings 5:15 KJV
Naaman, the general of the king of Aram’s army, then went back to the Holy Man, Elisha, he and his entourage, stood before him, and said, “I now know beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is no God anywhere on earth other than the God of Israel. In gratitude let me give you a gift.” Naaman had not grown up in Israel where he had learned what Yahweh says, heaven’s Creator, Who alone is God. He created the earth, shaped it, and established it all by Himself. He made it fit and orderly and beautiful for its inhabitants. *He says: “I Am Yahweh, and there is no other god.”* God chooses even the gentiles to show His power. Jesus said, “have you not considered that the prophet Elisha healed only Naaman, the Syrian, rather than one of the many Jewish lepers living in the land?” It was a young servant maid who told Naaman’s wife about Elisha. God chooses even the weak and the meek for His power to be manifest. Let’s not be backward in allowing God to use us to manifest God’s power to a world desperate to know the true and living God. Idols are nothing in this world, there is no other God but One. Through Christ He has chosen you to worship Him. Amen!
