—Leviticus 19:9-10; Deuteronomy 23:25
by: Katie Brown.
God made arrangements for those who were hungry or in need to pick grain from a neighbor’s outermost fields. This law was designed to show mercy on the poor and those who did not have their own fields in which to grow crops. This set a standard of charity for God’s people and demonstrated the bare minimum of how a field owner could care for those suffering around him. Giving on the Sabbath is not against God’s law, because He desires us to love others as we live our daily lives as Christians. How can you give to others this week?
