How can We have Victories over the Heartaches Cliffs?


How can we have Victories over the Heartaches Cliffs?

 

2 Kings 5:1, 13-14

 Now Naaman, captain of the host of the King of Syrian, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him the Lord had given deliverance unto Syria: he was a mighty man in valor, but he was a Leper."

 

 
 
   Many people are talking about the headache cliffs of this coming year! What are they? Maybe our finances, health, spiritual, emotional, or the uncertainty of the future! Naaman faced a horrible future but ultimately he trusted in God to meet this cliff.

  Here is what I gleamed from the scriptures that has given me encouragement.

  A. Naamam faced a horrible cliff which was being a leper. In those days this terrible disease had no cure; it causes separation from loves ones, sores, pains and death.

 

 B  Naaman faced this awe full cliff by faith in God’s Word in spite of the unknown. In these verses 8-14 we can gleam several steps to victory which are:

 

 

  1. He resisted God’s plan which was to dip in the dirty waters of Jordan to be healed.

  2. He then became obedient to God’s word. He showed it by his actions.

  3. He was healed.

  4. He showed the world God’s awesome power.

 

     Dear friends, today many of us are facing difficult cliffs which are: spiritual, physical, social, emotional. Many of us are facing financial changes, changes in our jobs, and changes in our health which could lead to death.

 

   God loves you very much. He has not forgotten you! I believe just like Naaaman we need to continue to trust in God and apply His Word to our life. I also believe that no matter what happens we can truly state that my hope and faith is standing on the solid rock.                                         

 ‘“The Lord is my Rock, my Fortress and My ROCK…..” 2 Samuel 22:23

 

  God will always make a way!!!

 

  Today as we face many uncertain cliffs let us pray together,” Dear Lord Jesus no matter what life throw’s at us, no matter what cliffs we face, we trust you in Jesus name to make a way for us. Thank you Jesus for giving us your comfort, encouragement and strength in Jesus name, Amen!"

 

Love, Eddie and Donna Smatt
