Faith, what is your depth? Mark 7:24-37

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!
    Okay, I am not going to read all the scripture of Mark 7:24-37, click on the link; it is important you read scripture so don't just bypass, be Nike and Just Do It!  In these passages, two (2) things happened: first, a woman wanted Jesus to cast the demon out of her daughter; then, a deaf mute was brought before Jesus to make him hear and speak.  
     Jesus spoke with the lady, saying first feel the children, not the dogs or family pets. She took the opening and stated that even the dogs eat the children's dropped food or scraps.  Because of her answer and her faith Jesus told her Yes, to go home her daughter was healed.
     The last part, vs. 31-37 a deaf and mute person was brought to Jesus, Jesus put his fingers in his ears, spit on his own fingers - touched the man's tongue and said, "Ephphatha" which means be opened. The man could hear and speak.  Now, why did this happen?  Fatih!
    Yes, Jesus is God, and all things are possible.  This demonstrates the faith these people had in Jesus. We could do the same as Jesus, IF, we had the faith of a mustard seed.  However, we have to be cautious and enter areas of healing others, knowing what we are doing and being led by God.
   If we enter into an area of healing, and it becomes as a "side show" then we would be treading on dangerous ground and opening ourselves up for attacks from satan.  My point of today's study is not to run out and heal people, but to examine the depth of your faith.  My mind always reverts back to Psalms - return to me the joy of salvation and change my heart oh Lord. 
    If I have the "FAITH" I can do all things through He who strengthens me.  What is the depth range of your faith seed today?  On rocky soil - to wither and die; on shallow soil - to sprout and produce no fruit; or on fertile soil to grow, produce much fruit and give hope to others.
   Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
