—Mark 7:24-30

Do we have the faith that this woman had? She wouldn't let anything hinder her from connecting with the Lord and exercising her faith in his love and grace. Her heritage didn't stop her, although she was a Gentile. The Lord was "hiding," so to speak, yet she sought him out. He acted as if he didn't hear, yet she persisted (Matthew 15:23). He responded with words that could have hurt, but she came right back in confidence. Her faith brought healing into her daughter's life and honor from our Lord's lips (Matthew 15:28). Would your faith do the same?
