Texts:
2 Kings 4 and 5
Ephesians 3

Kings:

This passage also has the story of Naaman. He's a commander of Syria. He has leprosy. And he listens to a Hebrew slave girl and seeks a cure from Elisha. The question the slave girl asks Naaman, when he complains that his cure is too simple, is a question for us as well.
"Father, if the prophet had commanded you to do something difficult, would you not have done it? How much more, when all he said to you was, “Wash, and be clean”?’
What are the simple things we could be doing, but aren't?
