—2 Kings 5:13-14

Through whom does God speak to Naaman? God uses servants, but why? Perhaps God spoke through servants because they were humble enough to serve him. Naaman was blessed to have such humbled servants telling him to rethink his anger. Many times, unfortunately, we expect fireworks, Broadway musicals, and parades with those giant cartoon balloons to accompany God's answers. But when we let God break down our pride, we can hear his simple reply: Go wash yourself clean. Naaman washed away more than just leprosy in the Jordan.
