Ruth 2: 7-8, 15-18
7. And she said, I pray you let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she cam, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.
8. Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens:
15-18 And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not.
And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.
So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.
And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed.
I love the story of Ruth, it is so.... Oh encouraging especially in today's world where things are rough, an money is not much, food cost have gone up, gas and milk cost the same.... There is so much we can learn from the story of Ruth.
As you know, God will provide for you. As we read through Ruth we see at first she only got the remnants of the field. Later it changed. Why do you think this happened?
You may not think so but People watch you. They see how you respond to various things, they see how you respond to life.
Ruth, I see as a lady who read her Bible daily and that prayed daily. When people see you do they see through your life that you Pray and read your Bible daily?
Ruth was a very persistent lady, are you?
Ruth shared what she received. Do you do this or do you go to church and glean from the preaching but NEVER share....
Do you receive daily food but yet you don't feed those in need?
Boaz saw how Ruth was she shared what she gleaned and then he gave her more! People do notice what you say, what you do, how you respond etc.
Oh be careful little hands what you do
For the Father up above is looking in love (or we could say: For the people here on earth are watching you to see.)
Oh be careful little mouth what you say
For there are little ears that are listening to your every word....
I know this isn't the actual song but you get the point. When you think your alone, Your NOT!!!
So are you a Ruth?
