II Kings 5:13: And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?
Naaman was a leper who was told by Elisha that he would be healed if he washed in the Jordan River seven times.
Naaman was upset that such a common and simple prescription was given.
He was also bothered because he wanted to be doted upon by the prophet.
Two things we can take from this:
1. Don’t expect anyone to do for you what you can do for yourself.
2. Don’t make it harder than it has to be.
Many people look for complicated solutions when a common sense answer will do.
