Jesus went to the district Tyre. He entered a house and wanted no one to know about it, but he could not escape notice. Soon a woman whose daughter had an unclean spirit heard about him. She came and fell at his feet. The woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by birth, and she begged him to drive the demon out of her daughter. He said to her, "Let the children be fed first. For it is not right to take the food of children and throw it to the dogs." She replied and said to him, "Lord, even the dogs under the table eat the children's scraps." Then he said to her, "For saying this you may go. The demon has gone out of your daughter." When the woman went home, she found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.
Consideration: Jesus once again approached by a woman, her daughter was possessed by a demon spirit. After speaking to her, Jesus assured her that the demon was out of her daughter. She went home and found the child in bed at Peace. The woman's faith touched the Lord, and he freed the child from her bondage.
Do we possess the faith of this woman? Do we believe that our Lord Jesus hears our prayers of intercession...?
