A sovereign God who has mysterious purposes
Dr. Roberto Miranda(Audio: Spanish)
In the well-known passage of Naaman and Elisha there are many truths and teachings that tell us about a sovereign God who has mysterious purposes, who sometimes moves in ways we cannot understand, who is moving even in times of trial and error. difficulties in our life and who always wants to glorify himself in all matters of our life.
God wants to show us spiritual lessons that build us in our character and that allow us to know him better, and not only as we sometimes think, give us a quick solution to our problems and get us out of a jam, but God also wants to instill character in us, work in our inner being and lead us to be every day more and more like Jesus Christ, and glorify him in our lives, and with our behavior, and not only be there giving us what we ask for and keeping us as spoiled children that as we are used to always receiving from our dad what we want, because then we become proud and dependent people in a way that is almost parasitic on God instead of also being contributors and actors, and providers for the Kingdom of God and its holy purposes.
