Begging

THIS dog is begging Poll to drop him a few crumbs of the biscuit he is eating. Poll seems quite delighted with the beggar’s position and will likely keep him there for some time.
Do you remember .hearing- of the woman of Canaan, a Gentile, in Matthew 15:2222And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. (Matthew 15:22) who came begging the Lord Jesus for mercy? Her daughter was vexed with a devil. The disciples said, “Send her away.” But Jesus said, “I am not sent, but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” She then came worshipping Him, saying, “Lord, help me.” But He told her He could not take the children’s bread and cast it to dogs. She saw her true place was that of a Gentile dog, and said, “Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their Master’s table.” Having now taken her true place, she gets the blessing, for Jesus said to her, “O woman, great is thy faith; be it unto thee even as thou wilt.” And her daughter was made whole from that hour.
We must take the low place in God’s presence, for we are sinners every one, deserving everlasting punishment. But God in His wondrous love and mercy provides a way of escape—faith in the finished work of the Lord Jesus.
