From today’s Scripture: “So Naaman went down and plunged into the Jordan seven times at the word of the man of God. His flesh became again like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.”—2 Kg 5:14
This passage reminds us that God’s ways are not always what we expect. Sometimes, God calls us to take simple steps of faith—ones that require trust rather than logic. Naaman had to let go of his pride and surrender to God’s direction, and in doing so, he was not only healed physically but also transformed spiritually.
Like Naaman, we may struggle with doubt or resistance when God calls us to trust him. But when we step forward in obedience, even when we don’t fully understand, we open ourselves to God’s grace and renewal. This story encourages us to let go of pride, trust in God’s word, and allow God to work in our lives, bringing healing, restoration, and a renewed heart.
Let us pray: Loving God, help me to let go of my doubt and worries and listen to your voice during the Lenten season.
