PERSEVERE, OH MY DEAR! Psalm 2 from Matthew 15: 22-28 for Lauri
She cried, "Son of David have mercy!
A demon has possessed my little daughter!
I KNOW you can exorcise and save
If I will exercise my faith,
Oh, Holy One of Israel.
With one drop of Living Water!"
His disciples were irritate
With the stir that she created,
"Send her away with all her fuss
For she is crying after us!"
But she pushed on despite rejection.
Pleading, "Lord, help me!" as she knelt,
Her humble response to his blunt question,
Must have made his stern heart melt,
Being grouped with dogs wouldn't deter her;
For dauntless bold belief was on fire!
Christ praised, then acquiesced,
"Let it be done as you desire! "
This story reaches past a woman
or an annoyed disciple.
It reveals perseverance's triumph
in His Holy Bible.
When you face a trial and pray,
"Let me not drink from this cup!"
Think of her. Breath in faith.
Raise your glass. DON'T GIVE UP!
