Receiving Crumbs

Scripture: Mathew 7:28 “Yes Lord,” she replied, “but even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

Observation: Sometimes we only want the best and don’t want to settle for anything less. We feel we deserve the best God has to offer, but we forget we really are, sinners forgiven by God. If I think of what I truly deserve the crumbs would become a banquet. I get so busy wanting the big blessing, I forget about all the smaller blessings I constantly receive that I don’t deserve.

Application: I need to start thanking God for all He gives me. The daily provision He supplies to me, air in my lungs, blood in my veins, my home, my health, my family and my possessions, things I have taken for granted.

Prayer: My Lord, I thank you for the crumbs that come from your table that sustain me each day. May I always realize what I truly deserve and how you love me and gave me what you wanted me to have.
