In a cryptic story from Matthew 15, we find a loving and devoted mother willing to do whatever it takes to save her daughter from suffering. By walking through this passage we recognize attributes of what Jesus called “great faith”: reverence, repentance, persistence and humility.
The Lord is My Shepherd
What does it mean for the Lord to be our Shepherd? According to David in Psalm 23, it means that we shall never be in want of anything. We will be made to slow down, quiet down, and sit down. Our souls will be restored and whole, like they were designed to be from the beginning. We shall not fear evil or death – no matter what we’re facing. Many of us know the Psalm… Let’s make sure we know the Shepherd.
