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...

Matthew 6:27 "27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" Jesus has questions... Beginning our study this week with "Why Do You Worry?" Questions have always been a cornerstone of education, used to assess students’ knowledge, promote comprehension, and stimulate critical thinking. Well-crafted questions lead to new insights, generate discussion, and promote the comprehensive exploration of the subject. It makes sense that GOD would use questions VERY effectively. In yesterday's verses, Jesus asked "Are you not MUCH BETTER than birds?" His questions do not end there. In today's verse we read another one, "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" This is a sentence our culture needs to learn. No anxiety, no thinking, no wanting will alter our bodily height, or any other condition of our life that is fixed by God’s laws. We often wish things were different than they are, but our "wo...

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...

praise Him

Luke 1:51-53 "51 He hath shewed strength with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. 53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away." This is Mary's Magnificat. Beginning with verse forty-six Mary's responds to Elizabeth’s blessing is EPIC! In this poem Mary praises GOD for His blessing to her and His faithfulness to Israel.  Mary's Magnificat also highlights a series of reversals in which the proud are humbled and the humble are exalted! Which we read in today's verses; "He hath shewed STRENGTH with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and EXALTED them of low degree. He hath FILLED the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away." We should marvel at GOD'S choice of this poor young girl to be the m...
