Matthew 15:27 - And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
The Canaanite woman desperately seeking healing for her demon-possessed daughter came to Jesus. (Mt 15:22–28). She pretended to be a Jew, calling out, “O Lord, Son of David!” (Vs.22) (Only the Jews addressed Jesus as the “Son of David”). Jesus did not answer her. His silence made her drop her pretence and cry out, “Lord, help me!” (Vs.25)
Only when her pretences had melted away did she see the grace of God extended to her. So when the Canaanite woman took her place by dropping the title “Son of David” and just leaned on Jesus’ compassion for her, her daughter was healed from that very hour!
You do not need to depend on pretensions to receive a miracle from Him. Come as you are and lean on His grace. If He has delivered Jesus up for us, “how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things”? (Romans 8:32)
Thought for the day!
Just come as you are to receive all that you need from God. You don’t have to pretend to be someone else to appear more deserving to receive from God.
