Naaman being a great man of war thought that washing himself in Jordan river was too low for him as written in 2Kings 5:10-12" Elisha sent messenger to say to him, go wash yourself seven times in the Jordan and your flesh would be restored and you would be cleansed. But Naaman went away angry and said" I thought that he would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God,wave his hand over the spot and cure me of leprosy. Are not Abana and Pharpar the rivers of Damascus, better than any of the waters of Israel? Couldn't I wash in them and be cleansed? So he turned and went off in rage".
(NIV)
At times as human we have self preference or wish of what we expect God to do for us against His will for us we forget that God knows what is best for us.
Unbelieve, pride and over comfort in comfort zone delays breakthrough.
2Kings5:13-14" Naaman's servant went to him and said, father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing would you not have done it? How much more then when He tells you wash and be cleansed! So he went down and dipped himself in the jordan seven times as the man of God had told him and his flesh was restrored and became clean like that of a young boy".
Naaman's servant was used as a mouth piece to Naaman by God to encoueage him follow what the prophet Elisha said. Because he obeyed there was a turn around.
This passage is to enlighten us on not leaning on our own understanding only but acknowledge the word and wish of God for us. In doing so it adds beauty to our lives.
Solution in science=solute + solvent .
If the required solute and solvent doesnt dissolve each other. There wouldn't be any solution.
For every problems God has a master key to open the door of breakthough.
Why give God an extralength way of coming into the setting by following human desire.
For every problems there is always which is unquely made by God.
But you have to be patient,listen and prayerful. This will enable you to hear from God and know his will and purpose for your life on Earth.
The question now is are you still at the verge of choosing your prefered way out of trying period?
You might be delaying your breakthrough, if you dont pray, wait and listen to God.
The waiting period can be unbelievably tiresome,frustrating, demaning,discouraging and so on. Make the best of your waiting time.
God knows the best plan that will work for you.
Believe in God's choice and will and stand firm.
Put on a positive attitude and answer will come soon.
Do not complain like Naaman who wanted a better river.
God has the best fulfilling plans for your life.
Wait on Him dilligently....
