8/11/11 My breath prayer today comes Matthew 15:27, :She said, 'Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table.'" Jesus is outside the boundaries of Israel in the region of Tyre and Sidon. A woman from way outside the boundaries of the Jewish faith, a Canaanite woman, approaches Jesus. She begs, and pleads, and intercedes on behalf of her daughter who is demon-possessed. Jesus is reluctant to act...until the woman pulls the punch line of even dogs get to eat the crumbs from their masters' tables. Even a little bit from Jesus is more than enough. I would rather have a crumb from God's table than all of the riches of this world. Just a little bit of bread and juice at the communion table become the mystery of the presence of Christ. Just a little bit of fellowship and prayer with some other believers is more than enough to sustain me for the journey. All I need is a crumby God.
Love,
Lynn
