Say the Truth

Naaman’s servants...said, “My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it?” — 2 Kings 5:13

When we think of mentors, we often think of an older person mentoring someone younger or a wise person mentoring someone who has much to learn. But mentors can come in many forms.

Naaman’s servant girl had no standing. She was a child, a female, and a slave, but she knew the power of God. She was bold in sharing what she knew about God. If she had kept quiet, Naaman might never have received his miracle.

Later Naaman’s pride nearly derailed the blessing that Elisha, as the prophet of God, had promised. But Naaman’s servants spoke up to redirect him to the purpose of their visit.

It was quite a risk for those servants to speak up to correct their commander, but God used their words to draw Naaman back to the instructions of the prophet.

Each mentor in this story spoke God’s truth into the life of someone in authority over them. That required courage. They spoke the truth with care and concern, and God used them to carry out his miracle of healing.

Even the weak can speak God’s truth into the lives of others, pointing them to God.

PRAYER

Lord, give me the courage to speak the truth about the gospel and God’s power even when it seems difficult. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
