Love God Greatly: Ruth

DAY 9 OF 26

God sees our every need and always provides for us. Here the Lord brought hard-working Ruth to the attention of a powerful, wealthy man named Boaz. When we have abundance, we are often used by God to help those who are lacking. Boaz extended kindness to Ruth, rather than hoarding his wealth. The simple obedience of Ruth and Boaz on this ordinary day made room for the extraordinary work that God wanted to accomplish in their lives. When we serve in simple ways, God takes notice.

If you are experiencing lack right now, keep faithfully tending your field. God will provide for you in unexpected ways. If you are surrounded by abundance, ask God to open your eyes to those around you who may need your help. Don’t hoard God’s blessings from those in need. Purpose to extend His kindness to others.

Lord, thank You for providing for our every need. Help us to work hard in the field You have planted us in and take note of the hurting who need our help. Amen.

About this Plan

Love God Greatly: Ruth

If you’ve ever experienced loss, loneliness, or seasons of great change or difficulty, then you can immediately identify with the events and people in the book of Ruth. While Ruth begins as a story of heartache, it doesn’t stop there. Mourning turns to dancing as themes of loyalty, kindness, boldness, acceptance, love, and redemption are uncovered. But ultimately, Ruth is a book about the providence of God. We should never underestimate the seemingly small events in our lives. Whether it is caring for family, getting married, working, showing kindness to our neighbors, or raising children… all of it is being used by God for the good of those who love Him, for His glory, and for the salvation of others. The book of Ruth reminds us that no event or person is insignificant in the plan of God. Join us for a 4 week study in the book of Ruth.
