NO MORE CRUMBS

SCRIPTURE FOCUS 

Matthew 15:22–27; Ruth 2:2–16

● Key Verse:

"Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table." – Matthew 15:27

"Let her glean even among the sheaves... and let fall some handfuls on purpose for her..." – Ruth 2:15–16 (paraphrased)

MEDITATION 

In Matthew 15, the Canaanite woman asks Jesus for mercy. She compares herself to a dog under the table, satisfied with crumbs. But if you trace the thread of Scripture back to Ruth — another Gentile woman — we see something more: 

God doesn’t just give crumbs to those who come with faith, but gives fully withholding nothing. 

Ruth didn’t belong in Boaz’s field. She was a Moabite, a widow, poor and vulnerable. But she humbled herself, just like the Canaanite woman. And what did Boaz — a symbol of Christ — do?

He said:

● “Let her glean among the sheaves. And let fall some handfuls on purpose.”

(see Ruth 2:15–16)

That means Ruth didn’t just get the leftovers. She got access to the harvest. Boaz instructed his men to drop intentional blessings in her path — not by accident, but on purpose.

Why? 

● Yes, the Canaanite woman said, “Even the crumbs are enough.” But Jesus gave her more than crumbs. He healed her daughter instantly. Why?

God is gracious and has always been , reason why He sent Jesus christ.  

 God doesn’t just want you under the table, neither getting the crumbs he leaves on purpose rather He wants you as a bride at the table he has prepared for you.  No struggles , no worries,  just resting in his love and abundance.  

PROPHETIC WORD

●God has shifted you from crumbs to fullness.

●From desperation to rest and access.

●From gleaning behind to owning the field .

●From barely enough to more than enough.

●There are is a table prepared for you; for now you are His bride and all that the groom has is yours . 

PRAYER 

Lord I thank you for the gift of your son Jesus that has granted us the named (outsiders and gentiles )access to God's kingdom... to the commonwealth of Israel by faith in his redemptive sacrificeon the cross. Thank you that not only are we welcomed in the kingdom but we have equal rights to the inheritance prepared ahead of those you love. 

I no more beggerly and hopeless for you  bought us over to be your perfect bride and all that is yours is ours. 

I lack nothing ... I want nothing .Of your Fullness i have all things.  

Hallelujah.  

DAILY CHALLENGE 

● Position Yourself 

Take 10 minutes today to journal your needs, dreams, and desires before God — not as a beggar, but as a child at the table, a Son of the kingdom. 

Don’t just ask for a crumb. Ask boldly for God loves to give you all things richly to enjoy. 

● Show Up 

Ruth didn’t wait for the harvest to come to her — she stepped into the field. Today, take one bold action in faith:

 *Apply for the opportunity you’ve been hesitating on.

 *Reach out to someone you’ve felt unworthy to connect with.

 DECLARATION 

● “I am not called to crumbs. I am called to fullness. I will glean from the field God has prepared for me.

 ● I have more than enough.

 ● I am a heir of God's kingdom 

 ● I am joint heirs with christ Jesus 

 ● The lord is my Father , I lack nothing. 

 ● All things work together for my good.

Faithful WHISPERS 

Stop reaching for the crumbs when you now walk in the overflow.

Crumbs were never your destiny. The Fullness of God 

 is your inheritance.
