The Extrodinary out of the Ordinary

2 Kings 5:11-14 - "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 my leprosy. ¹² Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Couldn’t I wash in them and be cleansed?” So he turned and went off in a rage.
 ¹³ Naaman’s servants went to him and said, “My 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’!” ¹⁴ So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had told him, and his flesh was restored and became clean like that of a young boy"

Sometimes our expectations of God are wrong. We often expect God to do things out of the ordinary when He is wanting to use something ordinary and make it extraordinary.

God is looking for willing servants to do whatever he may ask, even those things that may seem insignificant to us. Are you looking to do some great things for God? Then begin with the small things he asks you to do, and do them well. Sometimes it is the simple word or act that will make the greatest impact in others lives. Are you a great man as Naaman? Do you have a great work? Are you willing to do what God asks you to do, no matter how small or ordinary it may be?

God's ways are not our ways. His ways may seem ridiculous and even humiliating. Yet, we need to hear His voice and obey him.
