Every Word

He gave up everything for nothing.   “Did not my heart go with you when the man turned back from his chariot to meet you?” - 2 Kings 5:26 (NKJV)

The story takes a dark turn.   “...and stored them away in the house.” - 2 Kings 5:24 (NKJV)

It showed.   “Now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel.” - 2 Kings 5:15 (KJV)

Don't fleece the flock.   “And he urged him to take it, but he refused.” - 2 Kings 5:16 (KJV)

It would be a strange thing.   “He went down and dipped seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.” - 2 Kings 5:14 (NKJV)

He had ruined her life.   “Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! For he would recover him of his leprosy.”  -2 Kings 5:3 (KJV)

Salvation is a simple science.   “My father, if the prophet had told you to do something great, would you not have done it? How much more then, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean'?” - 2 Kings 5:13 (NKJV)

It wasn't about the show.   “Indeed, I said to myself, ‘He will surely come out to me, and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leprosy.'” - 2 Kings 5:11 (NKJV)

Credit where credit is due.   “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored to you, and you shall be clean.” - 2 Kings 5:10 (NKJV)

A testimony requires a test.   “Why have you torn your clothes? Please let him come to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.” - 2 Kings 5:8 (NKJV)

You'll see God work.   “They brought Him to Jerusalem, to present Him to the Lord.” - Luke 2:22 (KJV)

The king had no faith.   “And it happened, when the king of Israel read the letter, that he tore his clothes and said, ‘Am I God, to kill and make alive, that this man sends a man to me to heal him of his leprosy?'” - 2 Kings 5:7 (NKJV)

That was a pile of money.   “The king of Syria said, ‘Go to, go, and I will send a letter unto the king of Israel.' And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.” - 2 Kings 5:5 (KJV)  

It's all great.   “She said unto her mistress, ‘Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! For he would recover him of his leprosy.'” - 2 Kings 5:3 (KJV)

Let it bring out the best in you.   “And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman's wife.” - 2 Kings 5:2 (KJV)

This was a fight he couldn't win.   “Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the Lord had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper.” - 2 Kings 5:1 (KJV)

You'll have all you need—and then some.   “Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord's wrath.” - Zephaniah 1:18 (KJV)

He almost walked away from it all.   “The just shall live by faith.” - Romans 1:17 (KJV)

Some things can't be outsourced.   “Bear one another's burdens.” - Galatians 6:2 (NKJV)

Get over it!   “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.” - Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV)  

He gave her his house!   “We brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.” - 1 Timothy 6:7 (KJV)

Don't let your limitations limit God.   “The bin of flour was not used up, nor did the jar of oil run dry, according to the word of the Lord which He spoke by Elijah.” - 1 Kings 17:16 (NKJV)

She was going to die.   “As the Lord your God lives, I do not have bread, only a handful of flour in a bin.” - 1 Kings 17:12 (NKJV)

You're going to be okay.   “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. See, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.” - 1 Kings 17:9 (NKJV)

They might be the beginning.   “It came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.” - 1 Kings 17:7 (KJV)

Obeying God can be less than glamorous.   “It will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.” - 1 Kings 17:4 (NKJV)

You'll never regret it.   “As the Lord God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except at my word.” - 1 Kings 17:1 (NKJV)

You've got to be bold to pull that off.   “As the Lord God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except at my word.” - 1 Kings 17:1 (NKJV)

Without that, it's a different proposition.   “And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.” - Genesis 42:8 (KJV)

God had it figured out.   “The seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph had said. The famine was in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.” - Genesis 41:54 (KJV)

One good turn deserves another.   “Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.” - Genesis 40:23 (NKJV)

Your circumstances don't dictate reality.   “But the Lord was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.” - Genesis 39:21 (KJV)

The most remarkable turnaround in the Bible…   “And Pharaoh said unto his servants, ‘Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?'” - Genesis 41:38 (KJV)

The dead man couldn't hear him.   “The living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing.” - Ecclesiastes 9:5 (KJV)

They knew she was lying.   “She called to the men of her house and spoke to them, saying, ‘See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice.'” - Genesis 39:14 (NKJV)

He didn't weigh his options.   “How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?” - Genesis 39:9 (KJV)

When sin entices you, try this.   “But he refused.” - Genesis 39:8 (KJV)

God can sustain you.   “And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.” - Genesis 39:2 (KJV)

They learned some bad lessons.   “Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you.” - 2 Corinthians 6:17 (NKJV)

That's cold…   “So they took Joseph's tunic, killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the tunic in the blood. Then they sent the tunic of many colors, and they brought it to their father and said, ‘We have found this. Do you know whether it is your son's tunic or not?'” - Genesis 37:31-32 (NKJV)

You don't have to be angry.   “Look, this dreamer is coming!” - Genesis 37:19 (NKJV)

We are all glad.   “‘You must come in to me, for I have surely hired you with my son's mandrakes.' And he lay with her that night.”  -Genesis 30:16 (NKJV)

His brothers hated him.   “Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age.” - Genesis 37:3 (KJV)

Some things take time.   “O Daniel, I have now come forth to give you skill to understand.” - Daniel 9:22 (NKJV)

You need never lose hope.   “...the God of hope.” - Romans 15:13 (KJV)

Think of how things WILL be.   “Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, ‘There is a man child conceived.'” - Job 3:3 (KJV)
