Come out and Acknowledge Jesus

Matthew 15: 21-22 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. Canaanites were known for their idol worship. In the Old Testament there was a time when the children of Israel even worshiped the idols of Canaan {Ps. 106:37-38.}This woman of Canaan had to come out of the religion and traditions of her family. If she wanted Jesus to heal her daughter she had turn away from those idols and acknowledge Jesus. {Hebrews11:6} But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. She acknowledge who Jesus was when she call Him Lord and Son of David. In 1Chronicles 17:11-13 we see the promise of Jesus Christ coming as a descendant of David and who would establish God’s kingdom on earth}. If we are to walk in faith and have our prayers answered we have to come out from sin and acknowledge Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Prayer: Father strengthen us to be able to walk away from a life of sin to pursue a life with You, Father. Today and everyday we acknowledge Jesus as our Lord and Savior. We are thankful for the price He paid. Amen.
