Fellow Labourers-
Breaking the silence reminds me of "The silence of the lambs." The story of the Syrophoenecian woman is indeed a great story. Jesus sometimes seems quite sharp with his answers to the point of being offensive. He gets straight to the point. He is very deliberate and sometimes seems to be lost in his thoughts. He was not always easily understood. This lady no doubt looked beyond all of this because she knew something else about his heart. "He can be touched with the feeling of our infirmities."
This is an example of not giving up because of what I hear or see, but holding on because of what I know. I know he can heal so I will not believe the doctor's report. For some of us it would seem God has been silent for a very long time, but this is an example of holding on until the silence is broken. Persistent prayer will cause God to break his 'silence'. As we come to the end of another week let us hope. The favour of God be yours.
Pax Vobiscum
