Love God Greatly: Ruth

DAY 15 OF 26

Naomi tells Ruth to go to Boaz and appeal to him as the Kinsman Redeemer. From our perspective, this plan seems a bit risqué, but Naomi is actually counseling Ruth to humble herself and adopt a posture of a servant. Boaz was a man of character, and Ruth was appealing to His integrity by asking him to meet her need.

Ruth never questioned Naomi’s instructions. She submitted to the authority over her and trusted that Naomi knew best. Do we have a heart that is quick to obey like Ruth? God’s ways often seem contrary to what we consider reasonable, but our job is not to “understand,” our job I to trust God and quickly obey.

Lord, help us to obey quickly and trust that Your directives for us are right even when we don’t fully understand Your plan. 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.
