Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Matthew 15:32

According to the dictionary, thanksgiving is an expression of gratitude, especially to God. It is easy for us to be thankful when things are wonderful, but the real test comes when trials arise in our lives. However, when we choose to be thankful in the most dreadful of situations, it is an invitation for the God of Miracles to show up and move on our behalf.

My favorite way to focus on the “red stuff” in the New Testament—the words of Jesus—is to ask a question I received from a popular magazine “What’s one thing you know for sure?” As a lifelong journalist, I’ve interviewed hundreds of people over the years, and I think this question is the best single interview question I’ve ever heard. So I co-opted this question, morphing it into this: “Based on this Scripture passage alone, what’s one thing I know for sure about Jesus?” Let’s read through one chapter from Matthew’s Gospel that’s loaded with red stuff—chapter 15—quickly determining what we know for sure about Jesus as we scan through the things he said and did. We’ll sometimes read the same passage but answer the question differently.
