Naaman's Servant: The Girl Who Spoke Up, 2 Kings 5:1-14

Aug 10, 2025

In 2 Kings 5, we meet Naaman a powerful Syrian general-well respected, wealthy, and victorious, yet afflicted with leprosy, a condition that carried both social shame and spiritual weight. But what makes this story remarkable is not just Naaman's healing, its how it starts. A young , unnamed servant girl, taken from Israel and serving in captivity, speaks up. Her simple words set everything in motion. Her story reminds us of a theme we see throughout scripture: God uses the weak to shame the strong and bring glory to himself. It reminds us today--you don't need a platform to witness. Whether it is in your workplace, your family, your school or even in a painful place--your placement is not accidental. It is missional.
