At His Feet

Mark 7:24-26
"24 And from thence He arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but He could not be hid.
25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of Him, and came and fell at His feet:
26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought Him that He would cast forth the devil out of her daughter."

This week we are studying dogs in the Holy Scriptures. Coming from the book of Isaiah where we read that not only are the Jewish people chosen but "others" will be also gathereth!!! The ultimate value of a DOG is his BARK! We want DOGS that BARK; we want a DOG that is active and lives a spirit of instruction and warns us of trouble and sin that is near us. We want a DOG to protect us and keep us from mistakes. We don't want a DOG that sleeps and lies around NOT benefiting his master.

Today we go from reading prophecy to reading fulfillment! We turn to the Gospel of Mark, chapter seven. Jesus is making some distance between Him and the religious leaders that are giving Him trouble as He is giving them trouble right back! Jesus Has left His country and has traveled to what is present day Lebanon.

Today's verses; "And from thence He arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but He could NOT BE HID. For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of Him, and came and FELL at HIS FEET: The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought Him that He would cast forth the devil out of her daughter."

Even in this foreign country the people have heard of Jesus. He will not get to unwind or rest because there are people NEEDING His help! This woman is desperate to get help for her daughter. She will not take "No." for an answer...

Elisha’s example

1 Kings 19:19-21 "19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him." In Luke 9:54, after James and John sought to call down fire on a Samaritan village that rejected Jesus, they referenced Elijah, saying, “even as Elias did?” Jesus then taught three lessons about rejection: 1- Discipleship demands sacrifice, embracing hardship and forgoing earthly security. 2- Following Jesus requires immediate, un...

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!
