She came and fell down at His feet and asked Him to intervene on behalf of her daughter, to cast the demon out of her. The tense of our text indicates that she not only asked once, but kept on asking. Actually, she was pleading with Jesus. Her appeal was passionate. She was definitely involved in doing something about her faith.
Faith resulting in action is the only kind of faith that is real.
If our faith does not lead us to act, we're simply fooling ourselves. What we claim to be faith is not faith at all. It may be a misty sentimentalism, but it is not faith. True faith, biblical faith, leads us to action. The idea that we can divorce faith from action, that we can make it simply an intellectual thing, is foreign to the Scriptures.
