A Canaanite woman came to Jesus crying loud asking Him to heal her demon-possessed daughter but Jesus kept quiet. She went to the disciples and they came to Jesus asking that she be sent away; Jesus replied that He was only sent to the lost sheep of Israel but the woman never gave up, as she continued Jesus said that it is not good that the children's food be thrown to the dogs. And she said "YES LORD".The dogs also eat crumbs that fall from the table and Jesus said that great is her faith.
Here we learn about desperate prayers that cannot be denied. Not that Jesus did not want to heal her daughter but He was testing her faith; His silence was the first test. The second was He saying that He was only sent to the lost sheep of Israel and third was that it wasn't good to give children's bread to dogs. In all these 3tests she passed. She said YES LORD to what Jesus said and that was a mark of faith. When you go to God in prayer; do you easily give up or do you persist until the answer comes? When God is silent to you and is answering the prayers of others, do you give up or start complaining that God is partial or do you still persist in prayer in faith assured that God hears you, cares about you and will answer you if you don't give up.
When He reproves you and point something wrong with you, do you start justifying yourself or do you say YES LORD . I am guilty, and there is forgiveness with you that you maybe feared.
Never justify yourself when God convicts you of something; to justify yourself when God points out something to you which needs to be set right or confessed and forsaken is to call God a liar straight to His face. Now that you know, learn to Yes Lord, that is true
Jesus went to the mountain and sat down and people brought all the sick and maimed and blind and He healed all of them.
When people saw that they glorified God. Oh that we may learn to serve others and simultaneously direct all glory to God.
He fed the four thousand and then dismissed them.
All that were brought to Jesus and every situation, there is not a single case where we Jesus scratching his Head wondering what to do. Even today in that situation you are facing, take it to Jesus, He knows what to do and will do it. Don't be doubting, He is well able even today.
You are blessed to be a blessing
