Gleaning Rights: Matt15: 21-28;Deut24:19-22

The Syrophoenician woman cried unto Yahshua to have mercy on her daughter who was grievously vexed with a devil.  He ignored her cries; but explained that He was sent to the lost sheep of Israel.  She then came and worshipped at his feet; saying 'Lord help me'.  In response He said that one should not give the children's bread to the dogs.  Her answer is one of power in two things that she said.  Namely she said "truth Lord"; and also she stated that she has gleaning rights. How many times have I read this and not see it; that Yahshua' word is truth!  This shows that she knew something of the Elohim of Israel, that He is merciful, good and kind to all.  Deuteronomy 24: 19-22 teaches us that we should remember to leave food for the poor to glean and also the widow, fatherless, and stranger to glean.  Yahshua declared to her that she had great faith.  My Lord please help me to have great faith in You!
