“The Harvest Of
Your Land”
“‘When you reap the
harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the
gleanings of your harvest. Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick
up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am
the LORD your God.
“‘Do not steal.
“‘Do not lie.
“‘Do not
deceive one another.
“‘Do not swear
falsely by my name and so profane the name of your God. I am the LORD.
“‘Do not
defraud or rob your neighbor.
“‘Do not hold back
the wages of a hired worker overnight.
“‘Do not curse the
deaf or put a stumbling block in front of the blind, but fear your God. I am
the LORD.
“‘Do not
pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great,
but judge your neighbor fairly.
Leviticus
19:9-15
The Bible is a
treasure trove of truth.
Each passage has a
reason for its inclusion in the canon. Who knew Leviticus held so much buried
treasure? In an efficient seven verses, God teaches us how to provide for the
poor and disabled without stripping them of their dignity, how to run our
businesses ethically, and how to embed respect for Him into our daily life.
If a few verses can
contain so much treasure, think about all that can be ours if we dig into our
Bibles every day.
Every
word in the Bible was placed with a purpose;
any part you’ve
not read is your buried treasure.
