Your promises have been thoroughly tested; that is why I love them so much. I am insignificant and despised, but I don’t forget your commandments. Psalms 119:140 – 141
Naaman, the commander of the Syrian army, was a leper. He was desperate for a cure for his deadly condition.
Help came from an unlikely source. Syrian soldiers raided Israel and captured a young girl whom they brought back to become a maidservant to Naaman’s wife. Living in such close quarters, she must have seen Naaman’s dreadful disease and overheard the distressed and fearful conversations.
One day, she found the courage to say to her mistress: “If only my master were with the prophet who is in Samaria! For he would heal him of his leprosy” (II Kings 5:3). One small voice of hope spoke into Naaman’s misery and despair.
She is only ever mentioned in this one verse. She speaks her truth and leaves the scene. She walks in and out unnamed, but her message of hope changed Naaman’s world.
This maiden had every reason to stay silent. She was a young, foreign girl – small and despised in many eyes. For all of the reasons why she could not have said anything, she had some truth. When she shared the truth, it began to deliver Naaman.
What have you done with the truth you possess about Jesus Christ and His salvation? Your voice can offer the message of hope to change someone’s world forever.
LET’S PRAY.
This morning l pray the Holy Ghost will speak through you to offer hope to someone’s world to experience divine turnaround in Jesus mighty name. May you open your mouth to speak God’s truth and love to every person that you meet. May yours be the voice of hope to a searching soul today in the name of Jesus Christ. May your listeners experience signs and wonders in their lives in Jesus glorious name. Amen, Amen and Amen! Fountain to your life.
