Leviticus 19: 9 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, (In other words, when you get paid) you shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest. 10 And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the Lord your God.
There are thousands dying daily in Ukraine, without food, clothing, or shelter, and there are a multitude of single parent families suffering under the weight of inflationary pressures. Yet, in the mad rush to get rich, God and man are often forgotten, in so much that some fail to realize that the second coming of Christ is near, even at the doors.
It is true that we must work for our daily bread, and the blessing of God will attend well-directed efforts in monetary as well as other matters, but we should always keep God’s honor, and glory in the forefront of our minds, lest, like the man in the parable, our priorities become mixed up and inverted.
This is the reason why Christ issued the following caution to us who are living in the last days, so that we would avoid being caught up in the frenzy of the moment, of trying to get rich, and die trying.
Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
