the devil is gone

Mark 7:29&30
"29 And He said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
30 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed."

Hallelujah!!!
This Greek woman who has FAITH in our Lord and Savior see her daughter HEALED!!! Jesus had left His country and has traveled to what is present day Lebanon. Desperate to get help for her daughter she FELL at HIS FEET and begged Jesus to cast out the demon that has possessed her daughter. 

Jesus said "Not yet." This mother would not take "No." for an answer. She has FAITH in Jesus! This is an embarrassment to all the proud Pharisees and disbelieving Jews! Call her a DOG and she BARKS. She just needs a little crumb. It's not much to ask of the MESSIAH. She is not asking for a place at the table, she just wants a dropping from the Master's full table! One crumb of power and grace from Thy table shall cast the devil out of my daughter. 

In today's verses we read that her FAITH was rewarded! This nameless Gentile woman expressed GREAT ingenuity and FAITH! We can strive to live her example and persistently live out our FAITH. Don't let anyone hold us back from our mission. Isaiah prophesied that the Messiah came for everyone and not just the Jews. Here we read the actions of Jesus demonstrate this beautifully.

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!
