About twenty years ago I first noticed—and marveled
at—the humility of a certain woman in the New Testament. Imagine calmly
persisting with a plea after your people had been likened to a pack of dogs!
But recently I noted something else. Imagine being BOLD enough to persevere
instead of giving up on your quest! Jesus not only commended her great faith,
but He also granted her request.
The Bible contains no contradictions. We should indeed
strive to be humble, but when we approach the throne of grace, God also wants
us to be bold.
