Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.” But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and urged him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.” But he answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” Then she came and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, help me!” But he answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.” And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.” Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour. (Matthew 15:21-28 )
Lord Jesus, when it appears to be a season of crumbs, help us rejoice in every crumb that comes our way. Give us truly thankful hearts for all that we receive from your ands. Jesus, please bring healing and deliverance to every member of our families. Thank you.

Nothing much grows on the mountain top except perhaps faith through prayer.
The fruit is in the valley.
Above the tree line you are in the zone.
Walk in the zone of faith today my dear brothers and sisters.
Enjoy the view.
“This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I myself will take a shoot from the very top of a cedar and plant it; I will break off a tender sprig from its topmost shoots and plant it on a high and lofty mountain. “ Ezekiel 17:22
