“A sheaf of the first-fruits.” Leviticus 23:10
“Help me, Lord, I pray thee, in my heart, in my house, in the field, in the city, in the church, in the closet, in the world, in the family, to be for ever waving before my God, ‘the sheaf of the first-fruits’ in all his bounties. In Jesus I have all; in Jesus would I enjoy all; and then shall I most assuredly have that sweet promise for ever fulfilling in my heart: ‘Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the first-fruits of all thine increase: so shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine;’ Proverbs 3:9, 10.”
Robert Hawker (1753-1827)
