One great reward from teaching college students is the daily realization that I don’t have anything to offer. I am rather dull as are all humans. This conclusion is underscored every morning as I sit with God, reading, studying, meditating, and talking with him. I often feel much like the Canaanite woman who pleads with Jesus to heal her daughter. Jesus seemed to be hesitant saying he was sent to feed the Jews to which the women replied, “Yes Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from the Master’s table.” Any sincere movement toward being with God is met with an overwhelming sense of His Almighty-ness in Every way so that even a crumb of His wisdom would be a lifelong feast of creative knowledge. A side note. The time with him also always emboldens one to ask for a feast to go with the crumb.
