BOLD PERSISTENCE

LIGHT FOR THE WAY
(Daily Devotional)

"Jesus answered and said to her, 'O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire"(Matthew 15:20).

BOLD PERSISTENT

In 1953, a fledging business called Rocket Chemical Company and its staff of three set out to create a line of rust-prevention solvents and degreasers for use in the aerospace industry. It took them 40 attempts to perfect their formula. The original secret formula was successful at the 40th attempt and its still in use today. What a story of persistence!
The gospel of Matthew records another story of bold persistence. A canaanite woman had a daughter which was possessed of the devil. She had no hope for her daughter until she had that Jesus was in the region. This desperate woman came to Jesus because she believed He could help her. She cried out to Him even though everything and everyone seem to be against her;  race, gender, religion, background, the disciples, satan  and seemingly even Jesus(Matthew 15:22-27). With bold persistent she pushed through the dark corridors of  difficulty, desperate needs, and rejection. And the result? Jesus gave her what she desired by healing her daughter and commended her great faith.
We too are invited to approach Jesus with boldness and persistence. Though the year seem to be wounding up, let's keep asking, seeking and knocking and shortly we will find grace in our time of need. God created the world in 6 day, He can do unspeakable things in 6 hours.

PRAYER POINT
Father, thank you for your unfailing promise. As I ask I receive, as I seek I will find and amazing doors are open unto me everywhere I knock this day in Jesus name.
