'Do Not Be Greedy!'
Deuteronomy 22:9.
a) Never plant anything between the rows in your vineyard.
b) Otherwise,
c) You will have to give everything that grows there to the Holy Place.
d) This includes the crop you have planted
e) And the grapes from your vineyard.
(This QT strongly reminds me: Do Not Be Greedy)
PRAYER: To ask God to reveal to us, and then to renounce, any greed in our lives.

'Creation And Renewal.'
Psalm 104:30.
a) When You (God) send forth Your Spirit,
b) They are created;
b) You renew
c) The face of the Earth.
(Through this Second one I praise God Who is the Source of Creation And Renewal)
PRAYER: For personal renewal from God.

How difficult it must have been for the greedy farmer to see all the crops and grapes that he had grown having to be given involuntarily to the Holy Place. I imagine today's farmers in such a situation, they would be very upset if all of their income had to be given to the Church! Sometimes our "good ideas" about making more money are not God-given, they come from greed, and then they will eventually fail in some way.
