“And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman’s wife.” (II Kings 5:2)
As we have seen, Naaman had much going for him but he was a leper. He likely wanted to be healed of leprosy more than he wanted anything else. He did not know, nor did his master, the king of Syria know of a cure for leprosy.
A little girl had been taken captive from Israel by the Syrians. She had been made a servant to Naaman’s wife. In the next verses we will see how God uses weak instruments to do great things as He uses this little captive slave girl to bring healing to Naaman.
God can use you and me, even when the task before us seems to be overwhelming. The secret is to be totally surrendered to Him.
