Devotions on F.I.R.E. Year Oneনমুনা
From the end of the earth I will cry to You, when my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I (Psalm 61:2).
Where do you turn when everything seems to be against you?
Meet the individual who had multiple reasons to fold in the game of life being dealt a bad hand (Matthew 15:21-28). For one, she is a woman who comes to Jesus on account of her demon-possessed daughter. Rabbis didn’t interact with women. Two, she is a double-dip Gentile. Mark records that she is “a Syro-Phoenician by birth” (Mark 7:26). Her geographical location and ethnicity could keep her from Jesus because He came to His own place and people (John 1:11). Moreover, she’s a Canaanite, a people known as immoral pagans. Yet she acknowledges that Jesus is a rightful king, calling Him the “Son of David” (Matthew 15:22) and addressing Him as “Lord” (Matthew 15:27).
Employment Point: By faith, approach King Jesus to overcome all adversity.
