Action or illusion of power?

Monday October 15th, 2 Kings 5: 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. Naaman was a great king and was not about to do some silly thing like washing in the river, a foreign river at that, to be cleansed. How often do our preconceived ideas get in the way of God’s grace in our lives, and in the lives of others. Naamans servants knew the ways of grace. Slaves operated in the realm of grace. Their master had power over them to do anything he wanted. Sometimes accepting grace requires humility, that’s a little tough for someone who thinks they are in charge. When has your concept of power kept you from action? When was the last time you cried in front of others?
