Go and Glean

Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, 
“Let me go and glean ears of grain 
in the field of anyone who will allow me that favor.” 
RUTH 2 : 2


Glean is to extract (information) from various sources, collect gradually and bit by bit, or gather (leftover grain or other produce) after a harvest. It is synonyous to obtain, get, take, draw, derive, extract, cull, garner, gather, reap, select, choose, pick, learn, find out.

This is the time to go and glean, extract information from various sources, collect gradually and bit by bit, and gather your produce after a harvest. It is also a time to collect and have a complete account of all the resources that the Lord has given you and all of what you have done (Rt 2:11). Do not go to glean in anyone else’s field; watch to see which field is to be harvested, and follow them (Rt 2:8-9). Your graces and blessings at work shall come progressively so as not to overwhelm you and ensure a steady growth and development. 

The Lord will prove the holiness of His great name through you (Mt. 5:6). Blessed is the Lord who has not failed to provide you with all that you need and want (Rt 4:13).

You shall live in the land He gave as His servant. The Lord will take you away from where you are, and bring you to your own land Ez 36:23). Foreigners shall come to this land that God has given you and they shall see His glory and majesty. They shall regularly come and will even bring you more new clients as their way of offering to the Lord.

The Lord knows your works and your thoughts, you shall come to see His glory (Isa 66:18). He shall grant your request to trade clean water relying only upon Him and not with others. You will receive a new heart and a new spirit within you (Ps 51:12). You shall live by His statutes, careful to observe all His decrees. Blessed are you who fear the Lord, who walk in His ways! For you shall eat the fruit of your handiwork; blessed shall you be, and favored. (Ps 128:1-2)

God has given you an heir who will be famous in the land that He has given you. She will be your comfort and the support of your old age. She is worth more to you than seven sons!  (Ruth 2:15)
