Submission
I was reading in my quiet time the story of Naaman the leper in 2 Kings 5. What really struck me was this: the issue for Naaman was submission. Was he going to be in control of his healing or would he submit to God’s way.
Now this is not the first time I’ve read the story - but for some reason, it truly struck my heart. I thought about several issues in my life I’ve tried to be in control of. The truth is, if I try to be in control of my life, I am doomed to frustration, because I can’t be in control of my world - only God can.
So I stopped - bowed - confessed - and told God fresh and new, I submitted to Him. I need to do it every day.
Who’s in control of your life? If the answer is you - better check again - you have less control than you think.
