SCRIPTURE:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.\u00a0(Proverbs 11:2 NIV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DEVOTIONAL:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Naaman, a Syrian army leader who had leprosy, receives hope from an unexpected source.) \u201cAnd 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\u2019s wife. And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were<\/em> with the prophet that is<\/em> in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy (2 Kings 5:2\u20133).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, Naaman, being a great leader, headed out to see the king of Israel, bringing with him many riches as a gift. The king sent him to Elisha (see verse 9). (But, Elisha sends out his servant with the instruction to dip seven times in the Jordan River. Expecting the prophet to come out personally and cure him, Naaman became very angry and starts to ride away.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now what caused that reaction? Pride. What happened then? His little servant was running alongside him and said, \u201cMaster, wait a minute. If the prophet would\u2019ve told you to do something great, wouldn\u2019t you have done that?\u201d Naaman thought about it and said, \u201cWell, yeah, I think I would.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naaman wisely set aside his pride and obeyed the instructions given him by Elisha\u2019s servant: \u201cThen went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean\u201d (2 Kings 5:14).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRAYER:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Lord, search my heart. Is there any pride that is keeping me from my blessing? I release pride or anything in my heart that displeases You, and I expect to receive my miracle. In Jesus\u2019 Name. Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
