One Simple Truth
The poor are to be prioritized, not tolerated.
Scripture
Leviticus 23:22 ESV (Read the Full Chapter Here)
“And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field right up to its edge, nor shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest. You shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am the LORD your God.”
The one glaring truth that shines through in this command is for us not to neglect the poor. It can be easy to look at the poor or needy in judgment; to criticize decisions made that may or may not be accurate. Our command is not to judge their situation, but to be a benevolent expression of our Father in heaven. The poor are to be prioritized, not tolerated.
Prayer
Lord, help me to see with Your eyes today. I want to love as You love and give as You give. In Jesus name, amen.
