Why do People Seek God?① When they

realize that self-sufficiency is a lie.“Now Naaman was commander of the army of the king

of Aram. He was a great man in the sight of his master and highly regarded, because through him the Lord had given victory to Aram. He was a valiant soldier, but he had leprosy.”

2 Kings 5:1

Why do People Seek God?② When they

realize that the world cannot help them.“So Naaman left, taking with him ten talents of silver,

six thousand shekels of gold and ten sets of clothing. The letter that he took to the king of Israel read: “With this letter I am sending my servant Naaman to you so that you may cure him of his leprosy.”

2 Kings 5:5-6
