“that you may heal him of his leprosy” [II Kings 5:6(RAV)]

“that you may heal him of his leprosy”. Naaman and his entourage arrived at the King of Israel with the request for healing on the strength of a servant girl’s word taken captive from Israel some years earlier.
The king was completely at a loss what to do. He had the prophet Elisha in his midst but did not associate him with the request.
God’s servants today can be likened to Elisha then. The disease is not leprosy but it is just as lethal. Sin has brought trouble upon individuals, communities and nations. Will the ‘Elisha’s’ stand forth and tell us that there is a prophet in Israel, that God still cares and loves and meets the need of those who will call upon Him!
The answer is really quite simple – turn from your wicked ways to the Lord if you would find healing for the land.
