Matthew 15:25-28 One of the primary characteristics of truly effective faith is perseverance, which could be defined as active patience - a "keep-trusting-while-you're-waiting" attitude -regardless of the circumstances. Christ will honor those who remain true to Him through great difficulty, even when He does not seem to answer or to care. The "dogs" Jesus referred to were house dogs or pets. The woman understood Jesus' implication about the family pet not having the same privileges as the children (Matthew 15:25-27). Jesus was actually testing her faith. Yet, she was willing to receive whatever Jesus would give her. Jesus rewarded her persistent faith by giving her everything she asked for (Luke 18:1-8; 1 Peter 1:7; Mark 7:27). In our , there are many changing seasons. We go from feeling joyful and close to the Lord, to grieving and feeling like He is distant. We wrestle with our doubts and questions, wondering if God even hears us or if He is even real. Our faith decreases when we look around us, not up to God and His purpose. No Christian goes through this life without feeling weak in their faith at times, but we all can take comfort in knowing our God is Jesus Christ-- He is with us in every season, whether good or bad. Let's Pray: We ask that You would create in us a deep hunger in our hearts to help us be students of scripture. We pray that You would give us the discernment and wisdom to always line up what we are hearing and thinking with Your Holy Word. In Jesus' Name Amen. Bible Study Tools I Use:
