Tithe the Margins

God commanded Israel not to harvest to the edges of their fields but to leave margin for the poor, foreigner, and the vulnerable. Generosity was built into the agricultural rhythm of the community. Trusting God means not squeezing every ounce for ourselves but creating margin so that others can flourish. How can we, as God’s people, live simply so others can simply live? Have we structured our lives with margin for mercy, or are we consuming everything right up to the edges?
