Love God Greatly: Ruthনমুনা

Love God Greatly: Ruth

DAY 22 OF 26

The redeemer who was first in line declined to step forward and perform the role because it did not serve his own interest. Caring for his personal needs superseded any generosity or sacrifice to serve the needy widow and her daughter-in-law. Rather than step forward, he passed on the responsibility to Boaz and lost the blessing God had in store for the husband of Ruth.

When we see a need, are we more prone to step back and play it safe to protect ourselves, or are we sacrificial servants who move forward to help the needy? Boaz chose wisely, and God blessed Him abundantly. We will never know what God “might have done” in our lives if we let our flesh and fear keep us from putting feet to our faith.

Lord, help us to step forward to serve, rather than shrinking back selfishly. 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.
