Text: Mark 7: 25-30
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
When God is your only option you leave him with no other choice but to attend to you. But when you have alternative plans he may wait for you to exhaust all your human options before stepping into your case; this is because his glory will not be shared with anybody- Isaiah 42:8
The word of God says, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6. This simply means you should put all your eggs in God’s basket. He is reliable and dependable- a Covenant keeping God. He will not allow you to be put to shame.
In today’s text, a woman, whose daughter had an evil spirit in her, heard about Jesus and came to him at once and fell at his feet. The woman was a Gentile, born in the region of Phoenicia in Syria. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter. But Jesus answered, “Let us first feed the children. It isn’t right to take the children’s food and throw it to the dogs.” But she answered, “Sir, even the dogs under the table eat the children’s leftovers!”
So Jesus said to her, “Because of that answer, go back home, where you will find that the demon has gone out of your daughter!” She went home and found her child lying on the bed; the demon had indeed gone out of her- Mark 7: 25-30.
Wait on Him only and your case situation will bring God all the glory in Jesus name.
