Work the Land!
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who work the land. In Jesus’ name, amen.
In rural America, young people can get involved in Future Farmers of America (FFA). Others take part in 4H Clubs (Head-Heart-Hands-Health). These programs prepare young people for future study and careers in agribusiness.
Farming practices are so different than they were in ancient times, but what King Solomon says in Proverbs 28:19 (ESV) about one who takes seriously working his land also applies today.
“Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread,
but he who follows worthless pursuits will have plenty of poverty.”
Don’t waste time. Avoid being distracted by get-rich-quick schemes.
For those who work the land, don’t neglect the day-to-day responsibility associated with getting the work done.
Work the land and have plenty of bread instead of ending up poor.
