Crumb snatchers-Nope, I am not talking about children. I know that it is slang used to define and describe children. To clarify my declaration (see title), I am going to use my sister’s dog, Lady, as an example.
Lady watches the cook and anyone else who has food from the cook to the plate or platter. Lady is waiting and anticipating for any speck, particle, morsel or CRUMB to fall so that she can SNATCH (grab and run). Lady is a crumb snatcher.
Willing to admit so that I am no longer held captive, I ONCE LIVED AS A CRUMB SNATCHER. LIKE MY SISTER’S DOG WHO WATCHED ANYONE WITH FOOD, I WATCHED OTHER PEOPLE BEING BLESSED AND QUESTIONED IF WAS ACTUALLY A BLESSING. YOU KNOW HOW “WE” DO (STILL CONFESSING SO IT’S WE AND NOT “I” ):
- HOW DID HE/SHE GET THAT?
- WHAT THEY DOING WITH THAT?
- THEY DON’T NEED ALL THAT!!!!
- WE (STILL CONFESSING, SO IT’S WE AND NOT I ) EVEN QUESTIONED IF GOD BLESSED THEM AND EMPHATICALLY STATED THAT THE ENEMY BLESSES TOO.
- WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN TO THE BLESSING SO THAT I COULD GRAB ANY BIT OF INFORMATION AND RUN in hopes of having what they dropped or could no longer use or no longer wanted.
While reading Matthew 15:21-28, where JESUS informs a Phoenician woman, “…It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.” Yes…., Lord, she said. “Even the dogs eat the CRUMBS that fall from their master’s table.”, I began to think about ALL the time I wasted watching and questioning peoples’ lives, choices and acquisitions (their jobs, their mates, their homes, their cars..etc…).
I also realized that IT(crumb snatching) was due to my FEAR AND MY FAITHLESSNESS.
GOD, IN HIS WORD, “ASK ANYTHING IN MY NAME….,…I COME THAT YOU HAVE LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY….(NOT JUST THINGS-OUR HEALTH IS TO PROSPER AS WELL) ASSURING ME THAT HE BLESSES HIS CHILDREN.
EVEN IN READING AND STUDYING, I DID NOT HEAR, I COULD NOT HEAR BECAUSE I WAS TOO FOCUSED AND INTENT ON GRABBING AND SNATCHING THE BLESSINGS OF OTHERS. QUESTIONING IF GOD HAD TRULY BLESSED THEM. NOT FULLY REALIZING THAT HE WAS BLESSING ME AS WELL.
GOD SAT THE TABLE AT CREATION “I KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU…” AND I AM THE GUEST OF HONOR. I HAVE THE FULL ATTENTION OF THE HOST WHO ALSO SERVES.
GOD PREPARES THE TABLE, SET A PLACE FOR ME AT THE TABLE AND SERVES ME AT THE TABLE-BLESS THE LORD!!!!!
I AM NOT A CRUMB SNATCHER, I SIT IN MY PLACE AT THE TABLE WHERE LOVE, MERCY, GRACE, DELIVERANCE, PEACE, JOY, CONTENTMENT ALONG WITH MY DESIRES ARE BEING SERVED…THIS IS WHY I CONTINUOUSLY DECREE…
…Nothing will separate ME from the LOVE of GOD which is in CHRIST JESUS…..”
