(Picture this interesting story of Naaman meeting Elisha, his disappointment and anger, and turning away, and how finally his servants per suaded him to do as Elisha had bidden. Dipped, once, no cure; twice, just the same; three four, five, six times, and still the leprosy was there. Seven times, and he is cured. Emphasize obedience to God’s Word.) What a happy procession starts homeward, and we know how the wife and little girl would be watching for their return, and when they see them coming they can hardly wait. What a happy meeting they had, and now he was well, and could be a brave strong captain for his king, and his wife would be so happy to know he was well.
