Love God Greatly: Ruth

26 天中的第 19 天

Boaz tells Ruth to lay at his feet, but he never touches her and protects her modesty by cautioning his servants to shield her from shame. Let’s be honest: Boaz shows extreme self-control that is rarely evident among wealthy, powerful men. Ruth was an easy target in a dark room full of men that night, but he championed her purity.

Sexual purity is designed by God to protect us from brokenness of body, mind, and soul. The world tells us that the holiness outlined in the Bible is out dated, and that we can do what feels good to us, but choosing to serve our flesh will always lead to emptiness. Like Boaz and Ruth, we must fear God and choose to deny our flesh and trust in God’s timing.

Father God, give us a pure heart that honors You even in dark corners where no one is watching. May we fear You and yield all of our body, mind, and soul to obeying Your commands. Amen.

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.
