proud Jews; He was giving her hope, and she took hold of it. Her reply revealed that faith had triumphed. She did not deny the special place of the “children” (Jews) in God’s plan, nor did she want to usurp it. All she wanted were a few crumbs of blessing from the table; for, after all, “Salvation is of the Jews” (Joh_4:22). It must have rejoiced His heart when she took His very words and used them as a basis for her plea! She accepted her place, she accepted JESUS… she believed His Word, and she persisted in her plea; and Jesus not only met her need, but commended her for her faith. Great faith is faith that takes God at His Word and will not let go until God meets the need. Great faith can lay hold of even the slightest encouragement and turn it into a fulfilled promise. “Lord, increase our faith.” Stand In Faith Stand in faith Even when you can’t see your way Stand in faith Even when you feel like you can’t face another day Stand in faith Even when the tears want to flow from your eyes Stand in faith Knowing that our God will always provide Stand in faith Even when you feel that all hope is gone Stand in faith Knowing that He is always there for you to lean on Stand in faith
