2 Kings 5:20, 24, 26-27 NIV
[20] Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said to himself, "My master was too easy on Naaman, this Aramean, by not accepting from him what he brought. As surely as the Lord lives, I will run after him and get something from him." ... [24] When Gehazi came to the hill, he took the things from the servants and put [the silver and clothes] away in the house. ... [26] But Elisha said to him, "Was not my spirit with you when the man got down from his chariot to meet you? Is this the time to take money or to accept clothes—or olive groves and vineyards, or flocks and herds, or male and female slaves? [27] Naaman's leprosy will cling to you and to your descendants forever." Then Gehazi went from Elisha's presence and his skin was leprous—it had become as white as snow.
There are so many things in this world that one can chase. Most people don't realize the consequence of biting the hook hidden within the bait.
I feel convicted about spending too much time working, trying to make sure that I cover my summer salary. I wish I spent more time with my kids.
Father's Day is a reminder of how far I need to go to be a good dad.
Father, help me be more like you. Seems impossible, but you call me to be perfect like you, so I want to try. Holy Spirit, please help me listen to you. I love you.
