“SEARCHING FOR NOURISHMENT!”
Leviticus 19:9-10
“When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.And you shall not glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather every grape of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and the stranger: Iam the Lord your God.”
In today’s Scripture God instructs His people to be generous and caring for those who have a need for food in order to survive. Years later we find this acted out in the life of Ruth when she gleans the fields of Boaz. It is easy to take in more and more spiritual truth, but leave nothing behind for others to glean. We may possess pages—even entire notebooks—filled with things that have inspired us, but sadly we have never shared them with others.
I remember as a young teen when our family lived in southern Idaho. Someone told us that when farmers harvested onions for seed they often dug up the bulbs and dumped them in the sagebrush. Many evenings found our family sniffing out the air and "gleaning" huge piles of onions. We quickly learned how to use them and freely shared them with our friends.
Blessings dear hearts. May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
