God is calling all of us to a ridiculous faith. Not ridiculous in a bad way… but ridiculous in a good way. Many words today have two meanings. They mean what they mean but they also mean the opposite. That is how it works with ridiculous. Over the next three weeks, we are going to be looking at stories from the life of Elisha the prophet. Our desire is to see how we can live lives of ridiculous faith so that we can please God!

 

Today we are going to look at the story of Naaman from 2 Kings 5. This is an incredible story where God shows us that our plans take a back seat because He will always work according to His plan… not ours! Throughout the story we see that Naaman was trying to force his plan onto God, but God ends up showing Naaman that obedience is key to a ridiculous faith. Naaman had a choice… to walk away in disobedience and remain with his leprosy or submit to God’s plan and see healing take place. Ridiculous faith begins with submitting to God’s plan… not ours!
