As we continue with this adventure I have been challenged with my study of the Word. My hope is that as we prepare to enter the new year it important that the expectations for the following year are built on the foundation that never fails. The Word is a sure foundation on which we should build our expectations.
Today we encounter different miracles that occurred under the ministry of Elisha. One miracle that I want to concentrate on is that of Naaman. This was one great person with a huge problem. His problem was apparent to all. Imagine a general with a serious skin disorder. Here was a gentleman who had the nations attention yet he had a medical issue that caused him pain. Here was a man at the top of his league yet with a big BUT in his life. Can you imagine how he felt? How many of us in life are dealing with BUTS in life. The career is doing great but there is an issue for all to see that plagues us. For others the business is booming in the recession but we have a challenge that is the talk of town and are seeking a solution. Not everyone has the same issue just as we can say not everyone is a leper as Naaman was. The question I have is how far are we willing to resolve the issues of life? Naaman was willing to listen to advise and heed the Word of God.
As you step into 2010 I urge you to seek advise and heed the Word. As you spend time in the Word, seek wisdom regarding any issue you may be facing. Don't let the issue slow you from being a person of purpose.
