The Dogs Get the Crumbs: A Study in Humility

The Bible tells of a woman who came to Jesus for help. During the course of their exchange, Jesus said that it wasn't right to take what belonged to the children and cast it to the dogs. Having been compared to a dog, this woman took her place as a dog. She bowed low, got genuine, and got humble, asking only for crumbs from the Master's table. When she did, God's power met her situation, bringing freedom and deliverance.
God has the answer for every need of ours, but, like this woman, we must align our lives with His power. In our heart and in our thinking, we must lower ourselves to dog-like obedience and submission. We must humble ourselves so that God can lift us up.
