The Canaanite woman is a glorious example of what humility and perseverance look like when they are both present in the same person. This woman has been blessed with the insight to see past the physical display of Christ's miracles and into their meaning. She sees that flour and oil and bread and crumbs have to do with God's abundant provision and Fatherly care for those who are His. This Fatherly providence is so detailed that it is even concerned with placing this woman at the feet of Jesus in the same place where another woman was placed at the feet of Elijah. She knows that there is no wasted detail in God's design, and that there is no less mercy left over for one just because others have received mercy first. Even the dogs have enough from the children's food. So the charge is this – remember that there is no end to God's storehouse. We deserve none of it, yet we become heirs to it all when we are adopted into God's family. Do you understand this? Do you believe it enough to be specific and persistent, yet humble and teachable when you take your requests to the Lord?
