Love God Greatly: Ruth

DAY 11 OF 26

Ruth was a servant. Here we see her working with her hands to make sure that she and her mother in law had provision. She captures every moment of the day and stays in place until the sun sets. Her diligence did not go unnoticed. The ephah that she collected was quite a load. What should have been a tiny bundle of leftovers to provide a meal or two turned into several days of hearty eating for her and Naomi.

Yes, God provides abundantly for us, but we must stay in the field to reap the blessing. Haphazard living leads to lack, but Ruth shows us how faithful obedience is rewarded. As you head out into your field today, commit to giving 100% to the work God has entrusted to you.

Lord, thank You for Your abundant provision. Help us to tend our field with passion and zeal today and bring You glory. 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.
