Doing it God's Way

2 Kings 5:11 “Behold, I thought, ‘He will surely come out to me, and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, and strike his hand over the place, and cure the leper.-

His way is not always the way we would like to see things happen. We often have it set in our mind how things should happen and how it should turn out. His thoughts are not our thoughts, He knows the beginning to the end and knows what we need and when we need it. Naaman was a carnal man full of pride and ambition. Before he could see God move in his life, God needed to humble him. Often God let’s the bottom drop out and let people hit rock bottom. Our sin and foolish pride as sinners keeps us from reaching out to God and doing things His way. Naaman was not the first person in life that had to learn the lesson of humility. Before we can come to God, we must be willing to confess our sins and see that we are helpless to save ourselves. We come to God on His terms and not ours. He is the one in control and He calls the shots. As Christians, we may be tempted to think that we have everything under control and try to survive on our own strength. In the human, we look at problems we face and thinks that we can handle it. But the Christian who is filled with the Holy Spirit, realizes that God is in control and He wants us to follow His way and His directions. We resist thoughts of doing things our way, and let God be God in our life and do it His way.
