Writing to the Corinthian Christians, Paul tells them that God had comforted him in all his troubles so that he might comfort others with the comfort wherewith God comforted him. Herein lies a tremendous truth, which is, God deals with some directly and others in an indirect way. God comes to certain ones who are hurting, pours in the oil of healing, then bids them go and do likewise.
Many of us make the mistake Naaman made. He thought Elisha would deal with him personally; but, instead, he sent another in his place. Because of this, at first, he mistakenly turned away from the provided means wherein lay his help. When God sends His personal emissary to us, it does not mean He is any less concerned or involved in our personal lives.
Jesus said whoever received the one He sent to them received Him. Let us be careful that we do not turn away God’s chosen and end up comfortless.
