GOD’S WORD:

Ruth 2:12 The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.

 

 GETTING INTO GOD’S WORD:

 

       The book of Ruth is a wonderful book with several applications to believers today. We see a picture of someone from a life of sin, such as the idol worshiping Moabites, not only welcomed into God’s family, but becoming a part of the lineage of Christ on earth. When we put our faith in Christ, we too are adopted into the family of God and become the bride of Christ. We see Naomi, Ruth’s mother-in-law, realizing the blessings of God for a child of God, are not found in the world, pictured by living in Moab. It is when she comes home, God once again begins to bless her. While living in the world, she lost her husband, her sons, a daughter-in law, and her dignity. For the believer who wanders into the world, they too will find there are no blessings for them there. It is only when returning home, God will once again begin to bless their life. We also see He rewards loyalty.

 

        Ruth is loyal to the end. She is loyal to her marriage, even though she was free to marry again by the death of her husband, she decides to risk being single to be faithful to her mother-in-law. She is loyal to Naomi. She loved and respected her, and her beliefs. She is loyal to Naomi’s God. She says in Ruth 1:16, thy God shall be my God. She is loyal to the hard work of gleaning to provide for the two of them. In Ruth 2:12, Boaz says the rewards for your loyalty are found under the wings of your Lord. The Lord rewards loyalty even today.

 

 GETTING GOD’S WORD INTO ME:

 

    The devil and the world try to tempt you to wander. They entice you with glitz and glamour. However, for the child of God, they always leave you empty. Psalm 118:8 says, “It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.” 
 

To whom will you pledge your loyalty?

 

 THE WEEK IN REVIEW:

 

    In each of the devotions over this past week we should ask the question “WHO IS LORD?” It would have settled the issues of:

● Who Will Lead
● Who Owns The Land
● Who Will Learn
● Who Is Leading And Lost
● Who Remembers Lot
● Who Rewards Loyalty

    It will also take care of the issues we face today if we will ask and correctly answer the question, “WHO IS LORD?”

 

     Enjoy today with your church and hear what God has prepared in the heart of His man for you this week.

   See you tomorrow.  

 

 SUNDAYS:
