In the book of Ruth, we see this Moabitess position herself in a foreign land as a gleaner - someone who gathered and picked up, what was most of the time left on the ground, in order to provide for herself and Naomi.
It was in this position that God chose to bless her! He sent Boaz her way, who ended up being her kinsman-redeemer.
Now, I don't go out into a barley field every day - but here is just a short list of what I do from a bended position - picking up or gathering...
1. Pick up toys - the same ones daily most of the time
2. Pick up dirty clothes
3. Clean toilets
4. Clean bathtubs
5. Retrieve that favorite "gotta-have-right-this-second-toy" from under the couch/refrigerator/bed
6. Sweep up the spilled food or dirt into a dust pan
7. Pull weeds from the flower beds in the yard
8. Change diapers
The list could go on and on of all the ways we find ourselves in a position of humility! Talk about lowly jobs, scrubbing toilets and changing nasty diapers!!!
