Matthew 15:27 And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table...”
One day, a non-Jewish woman came to Jesus and begged Jesus to heal her daughter who was severely demon-possessed. Being the Son of God who received instructions from the Father to confine His ministry primarily to the Jews, Jesus replied in a rather negative way to test the faith of the faithful woman said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.” But her reply surprised many and Jesus complimented her great faith. Her daughter was healed at that exact moment.
God is looking for the same attitude that woman had in believers... She had great faith but behind her faith is an engine of deep hunger... A deep hunger to see her world changed... God is looking for hungry souls to fill...
Proverbs 27:7 "A satisfied soul loathes the honeycomb, But to a hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet..."
...Even if you don't have the best church with the best sound system, best preaching, if you are hungry, you can still seek the face of God... You may not have the best time to seek God but if you are hungry, you can make that time... Your health may be in a wrecked conditione but if you are hungry you can seek God for that healing... Having the best of everything may work against you if your heart is not hungry for more of God... Complacency is likely to set in... God does not look at the external but the internal factor of the human heart...
1 Samuel 16:7 "...The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart..."
"Dear Heavenly Father, search our hearts and let us be found hungry for all You are... We love You... In Jesus's Name Amen."
