"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.
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.
And 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 5:1-3
I love the maid in this story. She was a captive and a servant, but she spoke up about what she believed and made a difference. I think we can do the same. Sometimes we think that we have to be larger than life in order to make a difference, but just like this maid, in circumstances less than ideal, we can make a difference just by believing, and speaking up in an appropriate context. We can set an example, we can have faith that God does miracles, that he works through prophets, that he loves his children.
Today, in whatever circumstances, let's stay true to God and in tune with his Spirit, which can teach us the way to go in any situation. Let's be willing to open our mouths and make a difference. Even the smallest things can change the world for the better, with God's help.
