Trent Rankin Salvation Church, Gastonia, NC salvationchurchnc.org I think it would be safe to say, that most people want things their way! I will admit, I like things to go the way I plan. People like to get their way, and to have things go according to the way they have planned them. Sadly, we expect the same thing in our relationship with God too often. When it comes to God, we expect God to work and answer in the way we want and expect. It is as if people see God as their genie, instead of their Lord. In 2 Kings 5:1-14, we find Naaman, a man who also wanted things his way. Naaman was the commander of the Syrian army, an enemy of Israel. Naa- man also had leprosy. Naaman had a servant girl, an Israelite who had been taken captive, who told his wife about a prophet in Israel who could cure his leprosy. The King of Syria sent Naa- man to Israel to find Elisha the prophet. Naaman arrived at Elisha's house, yet he did not find what he expected. Elisha's servant came out and told Naaman to go wash himself in the Jordan River, and he would be cured. Naaman had expected Elisha to come out and cry out to God and heal him. He was insulted that he had to wash in an Israelite river. He left in a rage. His ser- vant convinced him to go back and wash in the Jordan. He did and was healed. He returned to Elisha and glorified God! It is easy for us to find ourselves just like Naaman. Naaman sought out God, but he had expectations of what would happen to him. We are the same way too often. We pray, calling on God to work and intercede in people's lives. We may even profess to have great faith and trust in God, and his will, yet we have expectations of God. We expect God to heal and work just as we want. Like Naaman, when God does not do as we expect, we get greatly offended. God taught Naaman a great lesson in obedience and surrender that day. Naa- man had to humble himself, and yield himself to God, and His ways. We want things our way, yet God's way is better. He knows what we need, and when we need it. He is sovereign God! Instead of looking to our own desires, may we humble ourselves in total surrender to God as Lord. May we walk in true obedi- ence to God. Jesus said to the Father as He prepared to go to the cross for us, "Not my will, but yours, be done" (Luke 22:42, ESV). May we say, not my way, but God's! My Way! Rev. Trent Tankin By Loretta Cozart S t u - d e n t s p r e - K through first grade will return to in-classroom learning on Monday, Tuesday, Thurs- day, and Friday beginning on Feb. 22. School board members voted six to three to begin returning elementary stu- dents back to the class- room during their January 25 meeting. Two weeks later, on March 8, students pre-K through fourth grade will return to a five-day school week. A remote option will remain available to par- ents. During the meeting, 19 people spoke. Some par- ents shared concern for their student's health dur- ing the COVID-19 pan- demic. Others worried that returning to the classroom too soon might endanger students, educators, and staff. On the other side of the argument, concern was shared for students who do not have the needed sup- port at home and are falling behind in their studies. Robert Queen, Rodney Fitch, Greg Taylor, Joel Shores, Ron Humphries, and Danny Blanton voted to approve the plan. Phil- lip Glover, Dena Green, and Coleman Hunt voted against. Board members also voiced the desire to make vaccines available to edu- cators, but the vaccine is currently designated for those 65-years and older. Dr. Stephen Fisher assured educators that he is advo- cating for teacher's turn as soon as possible. However, in other parts of NC educators are being given the vaccine. On Jan- uary 22, Jackson County Schools dismissed early to vaccinate the teachers. By working with local hospi- tals in their area, vaccines were made available. Since then, public school employ- ees in Rutherford County, Union County, and Swain County have received their first dose of the vaccine.
