🤯 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
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?
