No fireworks.

Naaman, the leper’s servants went to him and said, “My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more, then, when he tells you, ‘Wash and be cleansed’!”

We expect God’s healing to arrive with fireworks when a single match will do.

So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had told him, and his flesh was restored and became clean like that of a young boy.

No fireworks.

Naaman and all his attendants went back to the man of God. He stood before him and said, “Now I know that there is no God in all the world except in Israel. So please accept a gift from your servant.”

Nothing’s free.

The prophet Elisha answered, “As surely as the Lord lives, whom I serve, I will not accept a thing.” And even though Naaman urged him, he refused.
‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭5‬:‭13‬-‭16‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The gifts of God are always free and take little more than another with compassion to pass them on.

God is no showman. He speaks and acts quietly on the hearts of men in prayers of compassion.
