Just as Naamans miraculous healing hinged on whether he decided to dip in the Jordan (2 Kings 5:10-14), God lets us determine the extent to which he moves in our lives. In fact, God so humbles himself that in the entire biblical record of Gods acts, the Omnipotent One did almost nothing without rendering himself dependent upon human help. For example, the sovereign Lord declared, I will send an angel before you and drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, (Exodus 33:2). Nevertheless, even the commencement was delayed forty years because of the Israelites lack of faith. Even the miraculous collapse of Jerichos walls depended upon the Israelites marching around it again and again and again. Then the next step in the divine battle plan was sabotaged because of Archans sin (Joshua 7). Next, the Lords plan to annihilate the inhabitants of Gibeon was foiled because Joshua forgot to consult God and mistakenly made a peace treaty that the Almighty then obligated himself to respect forever (Joshua 9:3ff). And the saga of people messing up the sovereign Lords battle plans continued Regardless of how unworthy we might think ourselves, God loves, honors and trusts us so much that he refuses to reduce us to automatons but insists on moving in partnership with us.
