All the Men’s Kings: Not by Might – Come Down from the Chariot

Naaman came to the prophet with everything the world calls power — a general's rank, a king's letter, horses and chariots and gold — and was told to do something small enough that he couldn't boast of it. He nearly went home uncured rather than stoop to it. The books of Kings are full of power, but underneath it all runs a quieter question: not "is this king good or bad," but "who is actually King?" — and that question follows us home, to the things we each grip too tightly and will not release.

Ahab and Naaman; two men, two chariots: one man climbs in and dies, the other climbs down and lives. A look at power, surrender, and the God who receives us before we have it all sorted out.
