Second Kings Five - Relatively Better

 

"And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, 'Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored to you, and you shall be clean.' But Naaman became furious, and went away and said, 'Indeed, I said to myself, "He will surely come out to me, and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leprosy." Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?' So he turned and went away in a rage," 2 Kings 5:10-12, NKJV. #RelativelyBetter

Sometimes God really needs to change our perspective and give understanding concerning what the world determines as more valuable or better, compared to what is truly important in the eyes of the Lord; this principle can be seen in the Lord Jesus Christ, who outwardly became a servant in the world, even to the point of death, but in reality conquered all through His resurrection.

1 Samuel 1:8, Proverbs 16:8 and Hebrews 1:1-4.
