Daily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of Faith

DAY 27 OF 31

May 27

Introduction

In order to provide food for herself and Naomi, Ruth works in a field by picking up grain left behind by the harvest workers. It is there that she meets Boaz, the owner of the field.

Today’s Scripture: Ruth 2:12

[Boaz said to Ruth:] “May the LORD reward you for what you have done. May you have a full reward from the LORD God of Israel, to whom you have come for protection!”

Today’s Reading

Ruth 2:1-23

Reflect

The type of work performed by Ruth is known as gleaning. The Law of Moses makes provision for the poor, foreigners, orphans and widows by commanding that parts of the harvest be left behind for gleaners (Leviticus 19:9-10; Deuteronomy 24:19-21). When Ruth encounters Boaz, what advice does he give her (verses 8, 9)? Based on what Boaz tells Ruth, what are the potential risks for women who glean? How does Boaz treat Ruth? For what does he commend her? What is your impression of Boaz? What can the actions of Boaz teach us today?

Pray

Bounteous God, teach me to be a faithful steward of the earth’s resources so that no one goes hungry and so that your generous bounty is shared by all. Keep me always mindful of the needs of others. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Community and church food pantries and soup kitchens that serve the poor 

Tomorrow’s Reading

Ruth 3:1-18: Naomi makes plans for Ruth.
