And so she set out. She went and started gleaning in a field, following in the wake of the harvesters. Eventually she ended up in the part of the field owned by Boaz, her father-in-law Elimelech’s relative. A little later Boaz came out from Bethlehem, greeting his harvesters, “GOD be with you!” They replied, “And GOD bless you!” Boaz asked his young servant who was foreman over the farm hands, “Who is this young woman? Where did she come from?” The foreman said, “Why, that’s the Moabite girl, the one who came with Naomi from the country of Moab. She asked permission. ‘Let me glean,’ she said, ‘and gather among the sheaves following after your harvesters.’ She’s been at it steady ever since, from early morning until now, without so much as a break.”

What do you do when your dreams don’t manifest? Do you forfeit your dreams? In this Bible plan, Dr. Foster encourages you to trust your heart to God and Dream Again! God, your Creator, has designed you to succeed in His plans for your life. So, sow your trust in Him and expectantly prepare for bountiful harvests of fulfillment. God is faithful!
Who said you can’t flourish in hard times? Not the Bible! Why? Because God expects His children to trust Him as their Provider and Caregiver. Over 3,000 years ago, Ruth, a widowed Moabite refugee, experienced God’s miraculous provision of home and engrafting into the Messianic line. A shining example of how to overcome extreme difficulty, I believe Ruth’s encouragement in our hard times is one decision: “Flourish!”
Child of God, Your Heavenly Father has designed you to succeed in fulfilling His purposes for your life. Are you facing situations defiant of God’s faithful love and good plans for you? If so, remember who you are and refuse to let adverse circumstances rename you! God calls and equips His children to be overcomers. Walk with Naomi in this Bible plan and rediscover the overcomer in you.
In the first plan of this series, Naomi and Ruth returned to Bethlehem from Moab and to the covenant promises. However, she has yet to return to a relationship with God. Let’s look into recognizing that relationship, and what God does so we can return to Him and see Him in all His fullness. He wants us to recognize His faithfulness, godliness, grace, and favor in everyone involved.
