Missing His Grace – v2

So busy in his mind

how he thought it should be

the story of Naaman

of healing that almost wasn’t

nearly missing God’s grace

Healed because he stopped

listened to his servants

following the word of the prophet

doing what he had been asked

healed in Jordan’s waters

Life not always

as we have planned it

thinking of slights, anger,

distracting us from His blessing

missing the grace of God

Needing, like Naaman,

to be faithful, obedient,

focused on our Savior,

His healing coming,

not focused on the world
