He expected Elisha would come out and say some words in the name of God and receive all the gold and silver and heal him. He was angry and disappointed when Elisha did not come out, but sent his servant to tell him “go and wash in Jordan for seven times.” Naaman became angrier because he was expecting a miracle immediately and may be expecting to do a mighty act using his power to obtain the healing. Naaman would have shed his blood to obtain his deliverance; he would have sacrificed his nearest and dearest, and so he was gob smacked by the simple word he heard, “Go and wash in Jordan.” It didn’t seem possible that this could be everything. “And then . . . and then . . . and then what?” He felt Elisha was playing with him; he wanted to be treated more seriously. “Wash seven times in the Jordan?” The river Jordan? What about the clear rushing torrents of the Abana or Pharpar rivers back home fed by the mountain snows, much more cleansing, invigorating and powerful, all this way to Israel to be told to take a dip in their rivulet? Why this particularity? Here is the thing. Naaman came to the prophet of the Lord with such anticipation, his gifts ready, and his hopes high, but he left him an angry man. Naaman came with a leader’s face, a hopeful face, an eager face, a leper’s face, but…

they were eating, and he poured it into the pot. Then he asks them to eat it. They do, and do not suffer from any side effects. Later, a man comes from Baal-Shalisha in Mount Ephraim, bringing a present of food to Elisha. Elisha tells his servant to give the food to the people.

He cured of leprosy a…

clear that not only does God provide the call, He provides the means to answer the call. Ortberg states that God doesn’t call us in a way that violates our “raw material”. Where God calls, God equips. So then, we are not called just to work for God, we are called to work with God. Once called, God requires that we step out in faith. God promises to be with us but still we must make that first step. When the Israelites ended their years of desert wandering and made ready to cross the Jordan River…
