Jesus noticed a crippled woman while teaching in a synagogue and worked a miracle. What better day than the Sabbath? She stood up, giving glory to God. Jesus then stood up to a synagogue official incensed over work done on the day of rest. Before choosing the Twelve Apostles, Jesus prayed. Saint Paul advised persevering in prayer and carrying faith like a shield. Circumstances can throw a lot at us! Pharisees felt deserving of treatment as honored guests. Why do we rarely set children at the head of the table?
