“When you reap your harvest in your field, and forget a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it; it shall be for the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.” Deuteronomy 24:19
“When you beat your olive trees, you shall not go over the boughs again; it shall be for the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow.” Deuteronomy 24:20
None of the above makes good business sense.
Oh Lord, please school me deep in the economy of You. And here’s a simple poem . . .
Leave It
Could I leave a sheaf
without going back
or forget a few olives
and be okay with that?
Oh may I trust You
to keep and cover me
whether I be blindly blessing
or gathering for free.
