🤯 Wow, if there ever was a Proverb that speaks to our 🤥😈corrupt monetary system it is this one… “The uncultivated field of the poor yields abundant food, but without justice, it is swept away.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭13‬:‭23‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Proverbs 13:23 (CSB) - The uncultivated field of the poor | YouVersion

The uncultivated field of the poor yields abundant food, but without justice, it is swept away.

Basically, the 🌱 “uncultivated field” represents the humble or meager means of the poor that could produce a harvest 🌾 for them and help them change their lot in life. In fact, some commentators suggest that this is a reference to the productive potential of God’s creation, 🌍 available to anyone. ⚖️😡 However, injustice (corrupt economic/monetary policy) sweeps away that potential, frustrating the efforts of the poor and keeping them subjugated. Today, our corrupt monetary 💸system does the same. Inflation, debt-based currency, and unjust weights & measures ⚖️ rob the poor of their harvest before they can enjoy it. Wages don’t keep up. Savings are eroded. Opportunity is stifled. The tragedy isn’t lack of resources — it’s injustice distorting God’s design. 🏗️ Christians are called to build enterprises that resist this corruption — creating value, honoring🫡 just exchange, and unleashing abundance for families and communities. 👉 What would it look like if we stewarded money and business in line with God’s justice instead of man’s manipulation?

If you came to Christ through emotional or intellectual coercion and not through the power of the Holy Spirit, then you will be reliant not on Jesus, but on the ones by whom you were coerced.

I’m learning the painful, yet freeing, lesson that God will work in spite of, or through, my failures as a parent.
