—Mark 7:24-30
by: Kay Samuels.
It does not matter how many times I read this Scripture, I take offense for this woman. If I was her, I might not have received my miracle because I would have been too taken up with being offended. This mother, on the other hand, was not put off by Jesus’ comment. She had an immediate comeback. This woman had a need and was not going to let offense get in the way of her miracle. She persisted when many of us would have given up. Is there something that you have been praying for a long time? Do not give up—you are being set up for a blessing.
