We have a picture of Ruth gleaning. She went to the land of Canaan where God's people were, and there she was a needy one, and went to a mighty, wealthy man's field to glean ears of grain that the reapers had left behind.
We may draw a lesson from all this which is most needful. That field reminds vs of a field that God had given to us, which is His Word: It is there that we may learn the great and good things that God has for us—the wonderful salvation that He has provided for us through His heloved Son. He looked on us -in our lost and ruined condition, and seeing our utter helplessness to save ourselves, gave His Son to die for us, to bear the awful judgment that We deserved for all our sins.
Let me ask you, Have you gleaned this much from God's Word, and are you enabled to say,
"I praise and thank Him for this wonderful Saviour?"
If you have not yet gleaned thus far in the Word of God, may you do so quickly.
