Now bands of raiders from Aram had gone out and had taken captive a young girl from Israel, and she served Naaman's wife.
She said to her mistress,
"If only my master would see the prophet who is in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy."
2 Kings 5:3 NIV
This is another unnamed servant.
She was a young girl, stolen by an army unit from her people, from her family, and trafficked to become a slave, living in enemy territory.
I wonder how long she was there to learn the language to have this conversation.
I wonder if there were other slaves from her people who she connected with before this conversation. If she found community in the enemy camp.
Even so, how hard it must have been for a young girl to have kept her faith while living with the enemy.
She did.
She found goodness there, and she found purpose there.
God can be at work in us and through us no matter what our circumstances.
Choose to trust Him.
In the dark
When the journey is tough
When the way is not clear
When it seems impossible
