The four men with leprosy were realists (2 Kings 7:4). They knew how desperate their situation was. If they did nothing—a real temptation for many of us—they would die. If they went into the city they would die. Their only hope was to go to the camp of the enemy. They reasoned, “If they spare us, we live; if they kill us, then we die.”As far as they were concerned the risk of death at the hands of the enemy was better than sitting there and doing nothing.
I want to be one of those men who say, “Let me try and fail, if fail I must, but don’t let me sit here until I die!” What about you?
“‘Don’t be afraid,’ the prophet answered, ‘Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.’”
— 2 Kings 6:16 (NIV)
God almighty, give us eyes to see what You see and faith to act. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
