True Worship

 “Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭15‬:‭25‬, ‭27‬-‭28‬ ‭KJV‬‬

But she came and bowed down before Him and said, “Lord, help me!” “You’re right, Lord,” she replied. “But even puppies get to eat the crumbs that fall from the prince’s table.” Then Jesus answered her, “Dear woman, your faith is strong! What you desire will be done for you.” And at that very moment, her daughter was instantly set free from demonic torment.  This person was a Canaanite merchant woman and Canaan included the region of modern-day Lebanon.  Canaanite referred to the non-Jewish person who lived in that region.  It was here that Jezebel, the wife of king Ahab of Israel established Baal worship.  Now Jesus heals a woman and brings her to the true worship of God.  True worshippers are in Jesus’s Word “From now on, worshiping the Father will not be a matter of the right place but with a right heart. For God is a Spirit, and He longs to have sincere worshipers who adore Him in the realm of the Spirit and in truth.”  May we worship with a sincere heart our Lord and our God.  Amen!
