You Are Important!

LEE E. LAWDER

Have you given thought to the many unnamed people in the Bible who have set in motion a great event or a healing? For instance, there was the little slave girl whose mistress was the wife of the mighty Syrian commander Naaman. She said to her mistress, "Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy."^{ll Kings 5:3;} Her spiritual receptivity was the first step in the complete healing of Naaman.

What was the name of Pharaoh's chief butler who told his king about the man in prison who had interpreted his dream? That was an important step in bringing Joseph to the position where he could save Egypt from famine.

Or what was the name of the lad who had the loaves and fishes Jesus used to feed the multitudes? The Bible keeps record of these people because each contributed in some way to the demonstration of God's power and goodness. They were important people.
