The faith of the little maid impacted the whole nation of Syria when Naaman the leper was healed. From the king down, everyone who knew of Naaman knew he was healed. Whose faith brought this about? A little maid. Who are you and your faith supposed to impact today? 2 Kings 5

Naaman went from being on top of the world to wading through his deepest valley. Leprosy was a death sentence in his day. He found himself with no where to turn and no one to turn to for help. Naaman did not have the solution to his problem. He thought he was facing the impossible. Have you ever felt like you are facing the impossible? Will you let God do the impossible in and through you for His...

Naaman had many wonderful qualities, characteristics, and quite a wonderful reputation. But, Naaman had leprosy. Naaman didn’t let himself stop being useful because of the “but” in his life. God used the “but Naaman had leprosy” for God’s glory and that is what he is most remembered for. 2 Kings 5:1

Do you fill your thoughts daily with stinking thinking? Do you plan your day as a winner? God wants you to win today! Psalm 60:12

Don’t be afraid of this word: Sanctification. God began the sanctifying of you when you got saved. He wants to continue this process in you daily through the Word. Get in God’s Word daily and let His Word change you. John 17:17
