Leprosy

Faith can do amazing things to heal us. It really is just a mustard seed of faith to be healed. Sometimes I wonder if it isn't just faith but rather responding in obedience. If we don't do what we are supposed to do, what God has told us to do, are we really having faith. Of course not! Faith is an action verb. So much we treat it passively, like you can just sit back and believe. Pray from a distance. Think happy God thoughts. See how well that works. It won't last long.

Naaman had this problem. He was a leper and he didn't think God would heal him in the way Elisha prophosized. He want to see a big show full of miraculous wonders but God said go wash in the Jordan. Then he was like "really the Jordan? I can think of much cleaner waters." But at the end of the day, he saw he had nothing to loose but his leporsy so in he went and surprise! He was healed.

It's easy to question God. Since He is above this world He sometimes (quite frequently) doesn't make sense. But we are called to respond with action not words. Not "Oh, I'll pray about it." "But yes I'm going."

Lord, I wanna trust in where You are going and follow You every step. I never want to be unsure of Your message so speak LOUD so I can hear. If even a small amount of faith can move mountains then let the mountains move. I wait for You, knowing You're up to something. Do what You will!!

Amen. Amen. Amen.
