Love God Greatly: Ruth

DAY 18 OF 26

Boaz is a man of honor, and rather than rashly respond out of emotion, he makes a rational choice that protects Ruth and ensures she will be provided for as God intends. He understands that compromise and cutting corners will not be blessed by God, so he waits until morning and follows the protocols God has outlined for the kinsman redeemer.

If we grow impatient with God’s timing and directives, we end up making impulsive decisions from the flesh, rather than waiting for the leading of the Spirit. God’s ways are always better than ours. If we choose to honor Him, He will make a way for us just as He did for Ruth and Boaz.

Lord God, help us to trust Your timing and honor You with our choices. May we always follow Your leading and never run ahead of Your will for us. 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.
