Abraham said, "Since I’ve had the chutzpah to speak up before the Lord, even though I’m not worthy of being heard, allow me to ask this."
MATTHEW 15:27-28 (MSG)
She was quick: "You’re right, Master, but beggar dogs do get scraps from the master’s table."
Jesus gave in. "Oh, woman, your faith is something else. What you want is what you get!"
Right then her daughter became well.
THE ESSENCE
In God's world the "unworthy" are allowed voice.
DAILY FODDER
How much bolder would you be every day if you knew that your voice would be received? Which issues in life would you tackle? What’s stopping you from talking about these things with God?
PRAYER
Lord, I'm grateful that you're interested in what I have to say. Forgive me for holding back. I know that I often don't know what I'm talking about but you welcome me into the conversation anyway. I trust that my place at your table, a gift from you, will change how I see things and who I am. You graciously save me from embarrassment. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
