DEVOTION: Matthew 15:21-28 English Standard Version (ESV)

The Faith of a Canaanite Woman

²¹And Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon. ²²And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and was crying, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely oppressed by a demon." ²³But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, "Send her away, for she is crying out after us." ²⁴He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." ²⁵But she came and knelt before him, saying, "Lord, help me." ²⁶And he answered, "It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs." ²⁷She said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table." ²⁸Then Jesus answered her, "O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire." And her daughter was healed instantly.

Canaanite women were the lowest of the low as far as Jewish people were concerned. They were not to even really look at them, much less associate with them. So when a Canaanite woman comes up to Jesus begging for healing for her daughter, at first it looks like Jesus is treating her as any other Jew would, but we soon see that he is going to use her as an example of what faith is all about.

This Canaanite woman has been example of faith for thousands of years now. It is a humble faith. It is the faith of a woman who knows that she and her daughter are both undeserving of help from the Lord, but that the Lord is full of mercy, and will answer her and do his will for her out of that mercy and grace.

We need to have that same kind of faith. It's not a faith that thinks we deserve mercy from God because we have been obedient "enough"; or a faith that thinks we deserve something from God simply because of who we are or where we come from. It's a faith that realizes that we are all poor, miserable sinners who deserve nothing but separation from God and complete eternal damnation. It is a faith that trusts that God is truly merciful enough to send His only Son to earth to be born as a human, suffer, die and rise again, all for my sorry rear end.

This faith comes from the continual reading of Scripture, and the faithful attendance of worship and Bible study. It comes from being beaten down by our own faults and failures, our shortcomings and weaknesses, and having no where else to turn but the Lord Jesus. It comes from the Holy Spirit working on our hearts and in our lives and doing His will through it all. Have this kind of faith!

Prayer: Lord, make me to trust as surely in you as the Canaanite woman did, not just in my desperate times, but all the time. Amen.

DEVOTION: Romans 11:1-2 English Standard Version (ESV)

The Remnant of Israel

11 I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham,^[a] a member of the tribe of Benjamin. ²God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew.

¹³Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry ¹⁴in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them. ¹⁵For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?

²⁸As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers.²⁹For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. ³⁰For just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, ³¹so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now^[a] receive mercy. ³²For God has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all.

This reading is confusing, and I don't really know why the people who put the list of readings together included this one. I will try my best to explain it to you.

There were two groups in Jesus' day that were directly opposed to each other. There were Jews, the people who lived in and around Jerusalem and Judah/Israel, and there were Gentiles, meaning everyone else. If you read the Old Testament, you can see very clearly the God chose the Israelites to be the nation that he would grant favor and grow into a great nation, and from which the Savior of the world would come. They would be highly favored as long as they kept his commands and laws. They didn't and so often they would lose favor with God, but God never abandoned his promise to bring forth the Savior from the nation of Israel and the tribe of Judah. He did what he promised.

The Israelites, on the other hand, didn't keep their promise, and so by the time Jesus is born the nation of Israel is decimated and is under control of Rome. Also, many of the people whose ancestors had believed in and served God faithfully had now traded the faith and the Religion that God had given them for one they had made up. Furthermore, when Jesus, the Savior of the world, came, they rejected him.

Meanwhile, since the beginning and throughout history, God had been bringing foreigners, called Gentiles, into his "chosen" nation. In fact, his nation was never about how or where you were born but about the trust and faith that you had in the creator who had favor, mercy, and grace on you. The ones born into the nation of Israel and tribe of Judah had rejected the Savior. Many among the Gentiles were now receiving Jesus as their Lord and Savior through the preaching of the Gospel that Paul and the other apostles and believers had done.

This is brings us to the reading for today and what Paul is talking about. He is simply saying that it's not that God rejected the Jews but that the Jews had rejected him. Not all of the Jews rejected him. Paul was a Jew, most of the disciples were Jews, but many of the Jews rejected Jesus.

So Paul says that one of the reasons he is preaching the good news to the Gentiles is to make his fellow Jews jealous, so that they want what is being preached to the Gentiles, come to faith and be saved.

If the Jews had not rejected the Gospel, Paul and the other apostles would have never gone to the Gentiles. In other words, the Gentiles who received the Gospel have the Jews who rejected it to thank. At the same times, the Jews who are now listening to the Gospel, because of their jealousy, have the Gentiles to thank.

Conclusion: It doesn't matter how you hear the Gospel, or what it takes for you to be softened up and ready to receive it. What matters is that you hear it, believe it, and be saved. The Gospel is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes!

Prayer: Thank you for softening me up through trials and failures so that I may hear the Gospel clearly, believe it, and be saved. Amen.

DEVOTION: Isaiah 56:1English Standard Version (ESV)

Salvation for Foreigners

56 Thus says the Lord:
"Keep justice, and do righteousness,
for soon my salvation will come,
and my righteousness be revealed

6. "And the foreigners who join themselves to the Lord,
    to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord,
    and to be his servants,
everyone who keeps the Sabbath and does not profane it,
    and holds fast my covenant—
⁷these I will bring to my holy mountain,
    and make them joyful in my house of prayer;
their burnt offerings and their sacrifices
    will be accepted on my altar;
for my house shall be called a house of prayer
    for all peoples."
⁸The Lord God,
    who gathers the outcasts of Israel, declares,
"I will gather yet others to him
    besides those already gathered."

Do you think that only good people go to church, or that only people who are like you? Well, you're right if you think of yourself as being a foreigner, an outcast, and a sinner.

You heard me right. That's who God wants in his church! He wants those that the world considers foreigners and outcasts. It doesn't matter if you're white, black, Asian, Native American, or all black and blue. It doesn't matter if you are thought of highly by everyone or thought of as the lowest scum of the earth. It doesn't matter what you have or haven't accomplished in your life. God wants you!

He doesn't "need" you. He wants you! He doesn't "need" your money. He wants you, and your money, and your family, and your hardships, and your successes, and your failures, and your secret sins, and EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU! He wants you!

Have you been keeping yourself from worship lately? It's not ok if you are. In fact, it is a sin against the 3^rd commandment. Repent! Come back to the Lord's house! Worship Him and find your joy and satisfaction in him!

Lord, help me to always treat your house of prayer as holy and as a place for ALL people to gather around you, your Word, and your Sacraments so that I may be refreshed and blessed. Amen.

DEVOTION: Psalm 67English Standard Version (ESV)

Make Your Face Shine upon Us

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm. A Song.

67 May God be gracious to us and bless us
    and make his face to shine upon us, Selah
²that your way may be known on earth,
    your saving power among all nations.
³Let the peoples praise you, O God;
    let all the peoples praise you!

⁴Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,
    for you judge the peoples with equity
    and guide the nations upon earth. Selah
⁵Let the peoples praise you, O God;
    let all the peoples praise you!

  6 The earth has yielded its increase;
      God, our God, shall bless us.
  7 God shall bless us;
      let all the ends of the earth fear him!
   
  What does it mean to have God's "face to shine upon us"?  
   
  Well, think about what it was like when your mom or dad were really mad at you and told you to go to your room, that they didn't even want to look at you right now.    Or think about a time when your spouse was so angry that she needed some time alone or told you to go away.  Now imagine that on a much bigger scale with God.   
   
  Someone once defined hell as the absence of God, or God turning his back on us.  When Jesus was on the cross and cried out "My God, m God why have you forsaken me",   it was a literal thing where the Father turned His back on His Son.  
   
  Jesus took that forsakenness upon himself so that we wouldn't have to suffer it.  The Father had mercy on us by sending his own Son in our place.   
   
  Because of the sacrifice of His Son, the father, through Jesus, has promised that he will never leave us or forsake us.  He has promised to let his face continually   shine upon us and give us eternal peace!  Praise the Lord!
  
  Prayer: Lord God, thank you for sending your Son to be forsaken in our place so that your face will always shine upon us.  Amen.
