We so often pray for the overflow that we're not thankful for the just-enoughs. If you can't steward handfuls you'll never be able to effectively utilize barrel fulls. Great reminder on how to be accountable. .-= Karsten´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.2live4him.org/2009/11/nightmare-of-being-unprepared.html">The Nightmare of Being Unprepared</a> =-.

As a Christian entrepreneur, I often look at the example set by Boaz as a reminder that by business ventures are more than just a way to make money. It is a way to change lives with the resources God has entrusted into my stewardship. Boaz was already complying with Jewish law leaving behind some of his crops for the poor to gather. This is why Ruth was there in the field. It's a great lesson for Christian entrepreneurs to remember the needy. Imagine if we just did that today in America! Boaz even went a step above that with his "handfuls...on purpose" instructions to his servants. His generosity made a major impact on Ruth and Naomi's life, and later his. Thanks for sharing. It is easy to see why it is one of your favorite Biblical passages.
