Hang on ... Its coming

“Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.”

Matthew 15:28 (New King James Version)

Hang on … its coming . Continue to hang on to Jesus not letting your faith sway even a little and you will see the glory of God !

A lot of times we come into His presence say a quick prayer , decide that ‘nope God did not tell me anything today’ and then walk away. We read in Matthew 15 from verses 21-28 of a woman who was persistent.

We read in verse 22 “And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.””. But she did not receive a response. Then the disciples came and urged Jesus to send her away. Imagine that . You come with a heart that’s crying out expecting a miracle and this is what you receive. We read in verses 24-27 about the conversation that took place between Christ and her “But He answered and said, “ I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” Then she came and worshipped Him, saying, “Lord, help me!” But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.” And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their master’s table.””

She humbled herself to that of little dogs eating off crumbs that fall from their master’s table. Wow ! That’s persistent faith. That’s holding on and hanging on to Christ. That’s knowing no matter how even desperate things around you may seem but you will continue to hang on to Him waiting for His miracle.

Verse 28 “Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.” She held on , she received the miracle she was waiting for . And her testimony of faith is recorded in the word of God !

I pray that we hang on to Him not allowing anything to deter us. I pray everyday when we seek His face we will not get up and go just as a routine , but we will hang on to Him and seek Him with a heart that will not let go but will hold on to Him with all that we are in complete surrender and humility.

God Bless
