Bible in a Year: 1 Chronicles 22-24, John 8:28-59

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.
Leviticus 19:10

Today's Scripture & Insight: Leviticus 19:9-10

General Charles Gordon (1833-1885) served Queen Victoria in China and elsewhere, but when living in England he'd give away 90 percent of his income. When he heard about a famine in Lancashire, he scratched off the inscription from a pure gold medal he'd received from a world leader and sent it up north, saying they should melt it down and use the money to buy bread for the poor. That day he wrote in his diary: "The last earthly thing I had in this world that I valued I have given to the Lord Jesus."

General Gordon's level of generosity might seem above and beyond what we're able to extend, but God has always called His people to look out for those in need. In some of the laws He delivered through Moses, God instructed the people not to reap to the edges of their field nor gather the entire crop. Instead, when harvesting a vineyard, He said to leave the grapes that had fallen "for the poor and the foreigner" (Leviticus 19:10). God wanted His people to be aware of and provide for the vulnerable in their midst.

However generous we may feel, we can ask God to increase our desire to give to others and to seek His wisdom for creative ways to do so. He loves to help us show His love to others.

Reflect & Pray
How might you extend generosity today, whether through practical help, a listening ear, or some other way? When have you been on the receiving end of someone's generosity? How did that feel?

Giving Father, thank You for sending Jesus to live as one of us and to die for us. Fill my heart with love and thanks for this amazing gift.

TOTAL COMPLIANCE REQUIRED

When we teach about tithes and first fruits, some people think that it is the pastor's way of making money but they are making a great mistake. When you put God first, He will make sure that your blessings are irreversible. But if you decide to give Him second place in your life, you may not be happy to see what...More
