DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  MARK 7:27-30

(27)  But Jesus said unto her,  Let the children first be filled:  for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.
(28)  And she answered and said unto him,  Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
(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.


FAITH WORKS

Case in point, in this chapter, Jesus went to the borders of Tyre and Si'don, and entered into a house to hid himself'; there was a Greek, a Sy-ro-phe-ni'cian by nation woman whose daughter had an unclean spirit, she came and fell down at Jesus's feet and ask if he would cast the devil out of her daughter;  (27)  But Jesus said unto her,  Let the children first be filled:  for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs. First of all, the woman was a Greek, of a Sy-ro-phe-ni'cian by nation; Jesus had just entered the borders of Tyre and Si'don after probably a long journey and came into a house to rest himself but as soon as he got there the Sy'ro-phe-ni'cian woman came to fish him out to heal his daughter of demonic affliction; Jesus, in other words said to her, "Pardon me, I just got here, let me feed these sheep first with words of the Father to the fullest; for, it is not right for me to take their blessings and divert them unto unbelievers;" well, Jesus was right; he had an agenda that day to work within those two cities and did not want his attention to be distracted to other unintended purposes;  this is a lesson for us to try to stick to what we got written down on our calendars this year and not get distracted from what our resolutions are for year 2015.

 
WORDS OF INSPIRATION:

Points to ponder,   (28)  And she answered and said unto him,  Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.  Whaoo!  What an unshakable faith, the woman knew that it was not in her jurisdiction to ask Jesus to come with her and heal her daughter, but she believed that Jesus cannot refuse to heal anyone regardless of what nationality, race, or genders; so she still persuaded him with humility and respectful words;  when we humble ourselves before the Lord, with prayers and supplications, we will receive his attentions and it will be well with us again regardless of what our predicaments will be, there is nothing impossible with Jesus;  (29)  And he said unto her,  For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.  in other words, Jesus said unto her, "woman, because of your humbleness in words towards me, go on home; your daughter is healed of her demonic affliction;" from the words of the woman, Jesus was able to determined that the woman was godly and by her humbleness; Jesus had mercy on her and send his words to heal her daughter of her demonic affliction;  (30)  And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.  Hallelujah!  Finally, when the woman got home, her daughter was laying in bed but completely healed from her demonic afflictions;  brethren, can you imagine how happy and appreciative this woman was?:  the scriptures did not say, but her faith in Jesus and her humbleness in spirit got her daughter whole; this is what we will call grace, an unmerited favor of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Fruits of thoughts, brethren, this is a lesson of both faith and humility;  (i)  enormous faith in Jesus, can move mountains and perform miracles; regardless of what is going on today in our lives, let us have faith in Jesus; and humbly pray or petitions unto him with faith in his righteousness, it does not matter how difficult our troubles may be, in the eyes of Jesus, they are nothing and by his words all troubles will disappear with the oblivion by his Crucifixion on the cross of Calvary;  the Greek Sy-ro-phe-ni'cian woman had faith in Jesus and she was given the grace to partake of the bread of life from the table, which was might for Christ's chosen generation and royal priesthood, and did not eat the bread crumbs from under the table; for, she receive her miracle right away because of her faith in Jesus:  (ii)  humbleness pays, the woman had good seeds within her spirits, to realize that she does not deserve any favors from Jesus, but for him to just heal her demonic afflicted daughter and with humbleness, Jesus could not turn her away empty handed but sent his words to heal her daughters demonic affliction.


CONCLUSION:

Brethren, today, regardless of what is going on negatively in our lives; let us be rest assured that Jesus, is aware of all things concerning humanity, saved or unsaved; he is available for everyone who will call upon him in faith;  therefore, let us not sit down and hope for our troubles to go away whenever; for whenever could take several weeks or months to manifest positively; however, if we take faith steps like the Greek, a Sy-ro-phe-ci,an woman did to get help from Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior to heal her daughter's demonic affliction, seek the face of Jesus with humbleness, pray and supplicate unto him; and know that he hears our utterances and if he hears us, then he will do miracles to change our troubles around for better because we believe and trust in him; and by his grace, things will be well with us again forever and evermore.  Amen and Amen!
