SHARE GOD’S HARVEST!
Leviticus 19:10 – Devotional
Leviticus 19:10
“You shall not gather every grape of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and the stranger.“
As a young teen our family lived in Nampa, Idaho. Someone told us that after farmers harvested onions for seed they often dug up the bulbs and dumped them out in the sagebrush. Many evenings found our family sniffing out the air and “gleaning” huge piles of onions. We not only used them ourselves, but we freely shared them with our friends.
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.
In today’s Scripture, we are instructed to be generous and caring for those who desperately need food in order to survive. Years later we find this acted out in the life of Ruth when she gleans the fields of Boaz.
Sometimes as we study the Bible we may find the spiritual food that has been left behind for us. After we have “gleaned” the truth of God’s word, we need to leave some along the edges and in the corners of our life for others who need to be fed. What are you leaving for the spiritually famished around you?
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
