Devotionals
In ancient Caanan the worship of many false gods was wide spread. One such god that was worshipped was Moloch. It is said that Moloch was made of bronze made to sit on a bronze throne. He required animal and human sacrifices. His arms were made to be able to hold things in his hands. If a infant was required that day, they would start a fire inside of the statue of Moloch. Once the fire was good and hot, they would place the infant in Moloch's hands. Then somehow they were able to lift Moloch's arms into the air and the infant would roll down the statue's arms and into the fire. As the baby screamed in pain they played drums loud enough to block out its screams. If it was a grown male, they would heat the statue up until it was red hot. Then the man would be laid on the statue's hands and would die a horrible death. As he was screaming in pain, again the drums were played loudly to block out his screams. The high priests would dance around the statue, cutting themselves with stones and knives. They would get into trances and evil spirits would talk through them. Therefore, we can understand why a little canaanite girl was demon possessed. The syro-phoneician woman cried unto Jesus for help. Jesus told her that he was sent to help and save Israel, not Gentiles. Since she was a gentile she was willing to take the leftovers of God's power. She was willing to take the crumbs from Israel's table so that her daughter could get well. When Jesus saw her faith, He rewarded her by healing her daughter. The point I want to make is,if her daughter was made whole by only the crumbs of God's power. Just think what would have happened if she had experienced the whole loaf of God's power? Just think we can have the whole loaf today, if we just believe and claim it! Amen?????
