Naaman, a warrior forged in battles, but a leper bound by chains unseen. Skin marred and spirit weary, he stood, desperate. The whispers of hope came from an unexpected place—a captive girl. “Go to the prophet,” she urged. Trust rang in her voice like a battle cry.
With a king’s letter in hand and pride on display, Naaman rode to Elisha’s door. But the prophet didn’t come out. Instead, a simple command was given: “Wash in the Jordan.” Seven times. Anger boiled as the rivers of Damascus seemed purer, grander. The logic warred within him.
Yet, a servant’s voice pierced the arrogance. “If asked to do a great thing, would you not have done it?” A seed of humility took root. Naaman descended to the Jordan, each step a shedding of ego, each dip a release of doubt.
One time. Two. The water surged over him, cool and mysterious. Three. Four. His heart pounded like a drum, the rhythm of hope. Five. Six. Still the disease clung. One final plunge! Seven times—completion, perfection, transformation.
He emerged renewed, skin like a child’s, soul unburdened. The cleansing was more profound than flesh; it was a baptism of spirit. The God of Israel, the true healer, had spoken in those waters.
Faith had shattered the binds of disbelief; humility had opened the floodgates of grace. Naaman’s life, forever altered. His journey—more than a healing—became a testament, a revelation, a call to the faithful. Where pride yields, miracles bloom.
