Two snapshots of stubborn faith:
A Canaanite mother (Matthew 15:21–28) won’t be offended by silence or boundaries. She bows, “Lord, help me,” and even embraces the “crumbs” if that’s what it takes—Jesus calls it great faith and her daughter is made whole.
Decades earlier, an 85-year-old Caleb (Numbers 13; Joshua 14:5–13) won’t retire his promise. He has wholly followed the Lord and now asks, “Give me this mountain,” even where giants live, and receives Hebron—the seat of association.
Together they show a faith that starts in humble worship and ends in holy inheritance—a faith not offended by the process, not stalled by delay, and not intimidated by obstacles. Through the Greater Joshua—Jesus (salvation)—outsiders become heirs; crumbs become courage; courage claims territory for our families.
Worship in the waiting. Refuse to quit.
If He has spoken, don’t settle for crumbs—ask for the mountain.
