| Rediscover you. A quest to re-examine the life of Jesus. |
21 Then Jesus left Galilee and went north to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 A Gentile[e] woman who lived there came to him, pleading, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! For my daughter is possessed by a demon that torments her severely.”
23 But Jesus gave her no reply, not even a word. Then his disciples urged him to send her away. “Tell her to go away,” they said. “She is bothering us with all her begging.”
24 Then Jesus said to the woman, “I was sent only to help God’s lost sheep—the people of Israel.”
25 But she came and worshiped him, pleading again, “Lord, help me!”
26 Jesus responded, “It isn’t right to take food from the children and throw it to the dogs.”
27 She replied, “That’s true, Lord, but even dogs are allowed to eat the scraps that fall beneath their masters’ table.”
28 “Dear woman,” Jesus said to her, “your faith is great. Your request is granted.” And her daughter was instantly healed.
When I was asking if I should call a radio station that I had applied to work at, my college professor told me a funny phrase that I had never heard before- "The Squeaky Wheel Gets The Grease!"
In whatever we do in life, we can choose to blend in with the crowd or stand out and speak up! Whether it is for ourselves and a job, or our family, or even for God, the ones that persevere will be richly rewarded, just like the woman in the story above. We have the choice every day to stand, will you?
