That's the kind of faith which we see demonstrated in this Syrophoenician woman. It's the kind of faith which always catches the attention of Jesus. Indeed, persistence is one characteristic of true biblical faith. Many times in the Scriptures, we are exhorted to be persistent with God. We are exhorted to pray and keep praying, to ask and keep asking, to seek and keep seeking, to knock and keep knocking.
Persistence is a characteristic of true biblical faith.
We have the story of the widow and the unjust judge, which Jesus gave as an illustration of the need for persistence in prayer. Persistence is a quality highly valued by the Lord. We see it here in this woman. She came to Jesus and kept making her case. Over and over, she pled with the Lord to do something for her daughter.
