Mark 7:25 For a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard about Him, and she came and fell at His feet. 26 The woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phoenician by birth, and she kept asking Him to cast the demon out of her daughter. 27 But Jesus said to her, “Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.” 28 And she answered and said to Him, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table eat from the children’s crumbs.” 29 Then He said to her, “For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter.” 30 And when she had come to her house, she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.

A table symbolizes a place of receiving provision for life and health.  It symbolizes abundance, connection, fellowship and joy.  For this woman, even the crumbs from His table would be a blessing.  To her, to be a dog getting the crumbs would be a blessing.  Thus when we as His children have a place at the table we are very thankful.  The table He sets is never empty.  He sets us a table in the presence of our enemy!  He wants the enemy to see how abundantly He has provided for us and how faithfully He cares for us.  It is like rubbing salt in the enemy’s eyes.  That is why we openly give praise to God for what we expect to receive from His table.  We need at this point to give heed to something Scripture testifies to in,

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Everything to do with the kingdom begins at the point of faith for us.  Everything flows to us through the pipeline of faith.  No pipeline, no flow.  No one goes to the table unless they believe there’s something for them and they will be welcomed to it.  The Greek woman whose daughter was delivered bears witness to the willingness of Jesus, and Jesus is a witness to the willingness of the Father.  She heard about Him and believed what she heard and went to where He was. She did not allow her own estimation of her unworthiness determine it for her, she based her decision and determination on His goodness and willingness, and she received according to her faith.

Her faith was not based on the thing she desired to see happen.  Her faith was based on what she had heard concerning the kindness, goodness, ability and willingness of Jesus.  Her faith was in His character and nature, not the outcome itself.  She had heard He was loving and gracious and was able and willing to heal and deliver those who were coming to Him.  Her faith brought her to Him.  Everything we could ever need is found in Him and faith seeks to make us aware of Him and aware of what He is truly like.

You are loved today and always by your faithful gracious Heavenly Father.  By coming to His Son Jesus in faith to be forgiven and made alive you became His child supernaturally and He is for you not against you. Everything in His kingdom is accessed by faith in Him.  Faith is the pipeline through which His virtue flows in us and through us to bring His solutions into our lives on a daily basis.  It is good to know Him for who He is based on how He has revealed Himself to be.  I encourage you to approach Him in faith today and everyday.
