fll up our days will prove a
turning point in our lives or the
lives Of others. We do not see
life in its entirety and. there
fore. cannot know which act will
bring the largest fruitags.
But this we know: II a noble
purpose runs through all that we
do: il all the duties OF each day
are done in the right spirit, ours
will be an honorable part wher-
ever our lives touch the lives OF
others. Because we do not know
when our light will be a guide
to someone in need. our lamps
must always be trimmed ana
burning.
Second, Naaman expected too
much-it was natural that he
should He was a big man in the
government and respect was
shown him by all below his
rank. 1t never occurred to him
that a private citizen of another
land would so far ignore his si.-
ton as to send an answer by a
servant.
Elisha taught him a lesson in
humility. Naamsn learned that
the spokesman of the Almighty
is above all earthly potentates.
II was a hard lesson TO learn,
but he learned II. The material
lists among our scientists might
take this lesson to heart. They
should not look down upon those
who deal with spiritual things.
Third. Naaman also learned
not to judge by appearances.
The washing that he needed
was not the kind for which or
dinary water was sufficient. The
waters of Abana and Pharpar
were sparkling and inviting to
the eye. but they did not have
the healing power OF the waters
OF Jordan. and Jordan's waters
would have brought no relief
but for the fact that God had
given to them a healing power
for this occasion. Naaman found
that God. who made all things.
could use anything that He had
made-use as He wanted TO use
it and make it fulhll His pur-
pose.
The Important Little Thi.r.
Fourth-Naaman learned an
other important lesson-probabIv
the most important that we shall
gather from these verses, name
ly, not to rely too much on the
things that are spectacular and
Impressive. II he had been told
TO do some great thing II would
have seemed in keeping with his
own greatness. but to do a little
thing-seemingsy trivial was
beneath him
And may we not be in danger
of making the same mistake?
Lives are often wasted in wait
ing for big opportunities. De
spise not the day OF small
things" is a wise admonition.
The simple things Of life are
the foundation upon which great
achievements are built. Little
things grow into big things,
just as vegetables develop from
tiny seeds and mighty oaks from
little scorns. We use the small
tasks as stepping stones to the
large accomplishments of life.
Fifth-Nasman learned. too,
that people cannot think
straight when they are angry.
He felt offended and then acted
while his blood was hot. He
was wroth" and 'fn q rage"
