The first words of the first chapter of the Bible open with a powerful, foundational truth: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. This shows that God exists and he is eternal. We learn that God is Spirit, and through his creation we can witness his infinite power and wisdom, and be encouraged and inspired by his infinite goodness and holiness.
A Gentile woman responds to Jesus' apparent rejection, owning up to being a dog and asking Jesus for just a crumb of His grace. Jesus did not reject nor insult her, but taught her who He was. When she realized it, He granted her request, and lifted her up from under the table to at the table as a child of God.

The kingdom of Judah is about to collapse under the weight of her own sin. Judgment was inevitable. But before the terrible end there is a temporary period of peace and relief. Josiah reigned during this time, and he, like Hezekiah, was one of the greatest kings of Judah. He was commended for his obedience to God's law, and brought about great reforms in Judah. In Josiah we catch a glimpse of an even greater king to come: Jesus Christ our Savior, in whom is found the remission (forgiveness) of our sins.
