As we continue to study deeper into Psalm 23, Pastor Jason takes us through 2 Kings, chapter 5, and the story of Namaan and the servant girl to demonstrate how the Lord uses tough situations to accomplish His will.

Ok friends - last throwback for the summer and then I will be back with new stuff.  I love thinking about making small changes and how it can make such a difference.  You can also look into the series about The Atomic Habits series  (Ep 76,77& 78).  Enjoy!“Doesn't matter how small the improvement.”  This week I am sharing a bit about the British cycling team and the story of their rise to greatness after 76 years of not doing much. It is with that context that I thought it would be helpful to go into the new year as we think about any new year's resolutions.  So I share the ideas that helped the British team rise to excellence, this idea of 1 percent improvement, aggregate of marginal gains or small improvement each day. I also share the story of Namaan, from the Old Testament, who was asked to do a very small thing that then healed him.  It is amazing how sometimes the small things really can make all the difference. For shownotes go to www.findingthefloor.com/ep075I would love to hear from you! You can reach me at camille@findingthefloor.com or dm @findingthefloor on instagram. Thanks for listening!!Thanks to Seth Johnson for my intro and outro original music. I love it so much!

Ryon Flanagan of Grace City Church in Lakeland, FL preaches on the obedience of Namaan and his healing from leprosy, and how our full obedience, which is required by God, will unlock future desires which are given by God.
