In the Leviticus reading today, I wondered why we do not apply this Old Testament principle today. We could feed the world if we left some of our abundance for the poor. Here is the verse...
" '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. Leave them for the poor and the alien. I am the LORD your God.' "
What do you think? (metaphorically speaking) Could we feed the world if everyone left an edge on their field?
