I recently heard Dr. Apostle Matthew Steven III make this statement and reference this passage of scripture. He said, every dog will have it’s day. Matthew 15:21 Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.”

23 But He answered her not a word.

And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.”

24 But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

25 Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, help me!”

26 But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”

27 And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”

28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

Every dog will have it’s day.

Call me a dog.

So many of us have been called to sit at the table the Lord has prepared but we have at times behaved like those outside of the kingdom. We have been content with the crumbs like a dog that have fallen from the masters table. Notice, Jesus didn’t even respond to her because she didn’t have a right to what she was asking Him for. He let her know deliverance was the children’s bread.

Are we behaving like children in the kingdom or are we acting like the dogs that are only eating the crumbs that fall from the master’s table?

Jesus has prepared a whole table for us and wants us to receive all He has for us. Jesus let her know because of her faith her daughter was delivered. Notice that he could not ignore her faith although he ignored her. The kingdom is accessed by faith. I have left the Lord at times and yet received things from Him that seemed unfair that I shouldn’t have received. Some would say, I was behaving as one of the dogs but I still used my faith for my daughter. God honored it just like He did with this woman in the scriptures. He will honor you too. Have faith in God, no matter what state you may find yourself in. Ask, believe and receive it and don’t allow others to persuade you to stop following God like the disciples tried to do to this woman.

God is calling us to more and positioning us at the table. The crumbs had enough power to give her what she needed. Are you eating the bread crumbs in your relationships, in your career, in your finances, etc because you have a measure of success? Every dog will have its’ day. God reigns on the just and the unjust. However, He has an abundance for us at the table as his children and we don’t have to eat the crumbs that fallen from the masters table and settle. We did not settle.
