crumbs...how big are crumbs??

how big are crumbs??…now that depends on the size of the parties involved…a mouse in the house of a giant would no doubt be dumbfounded at the size and quality of the crumbs involved.


the reverse might also true, that thinking oneself a giant would present nothing but disappointment, frustration, and anger in what’s found under the table of of a mouse.


could it be that we’re prone to (even bound to) a bit of a role reversal? in the analogy, God’s clearly the giant (a kind, benevolent, & gracious one at that) - we be the mice. God, and the gifts of God, are so much huger than we even know (isa. 40:12), yet, we often complain, gripe, & murmur that life isn’t going as well as it should - that’s God’s not being as good as He should…that the crumbs aren’t big enough. we make ourselves the giant - disappointed, frustrated, angry and bitter with the paucity we find under the table of life.


i’ve started this here little blog as a way to help myself continue to spy out & discover those crumbs, savor the crumbs, and share the crumbs (2 kings 7). truly God is good (ps. 73)...the crumbs from His table are a feast indeed.

I read mt 15:23-28. that Jesus knows me and coming in brokenness and worshipping Him, He wants to give so much more. That scripture helps me realize that my faith at times is so not enough
