Jesus left that place and went to the region of Tyre. Not wanting anyone to know He was there, He entered a house, but was unable to escape their notice. — Mark 7:24 BSB

Jesus cannot be hidden. Wherever He is, people know it.

A Gentile mother, burdened by her daughter’s demonic possession, heard that the Healer was nearby. She seized the opportunity and went to Jesus, determined to get the blessing while He was within reach. She believed He could heal her daughter, and she wouldn’t let the chance slip by.

It would be wonderful if all mothers were as eager to seek spiritual blessings for their children as this mother was to see her daughter freed from evil.

There are other kinds of impairments besides those mentioned here—many people are unable to speak or hear for God. Some who profess to follow Christ never seem able to speak a word for Him. God gives them messages, but they remain silent, and souls are lost because they didn’t speak.

We should seek to fully use all our abilities for God’s purposes.
