THESE dear girls have been spending some pleasant hours in the field, gathering grain, and are taking it home. We do not all have the opportunity of gleaning grain from the fields, but there is one kind of gleaning we may all do.
The different grains provide food for our bodies, and. we need them in order to grow and be healthy. We need food for our souls as well, if we expect to be healthy as Christians, and this we find in the Bible, the Word of God. God has given us food for our natural bodies, and He also gives us the food for our spiritual life.
In the Bible, we find how to be saved,— and that is through the Lord Jesus Christ, and His finished work on the cross for lost sinners, such as we.
It is there, also, we read how we may please Him in our ways after we are saved. We are made His, and He wants us to act like Him. We read that He was loving, gentle, meek, and turned none away from Him. How unlike Him we are.
May we ask Him to give us the strength and grace to be more like Him. May we glean from this wonderful Field daily, constantly, and find the precious food He has for us, that we may "grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ." 2 Peter 3:1818But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. (2 Peter 3:18).
