The Book of Ruth With Bianca Juarez: A 7-Day RightNow Media Devotionalਨਮੂਨਾ

How do you react when you witness or experience unexpected kindness? For most of us, kindness can be a memorable experience, whether we’re on the giving or receiving end of it. But unexpected kindness? That’s transformative. In this session, we’ll see Ruth and Boaz’s first meeting and we’ll see Ruth—a foreigner—experience kindness she never saw coming.
Reflect
Ruth recognized her position—she was lower than the lowest servant—which is why Boaz’s kindness blew her away. When has someone in authority over you gone above and beyond to care for you? How did it make you feel?
This session focused on Ruth’s hard work, her loyalty to Naomi, and Boaz’s provision for Ruth. Each of these characters’ actions stemmed from their faithfulness to God. What are ways you exercise faithfulness on a day-to-day basis? In what ways does faithfulness to God shape your daily attitude and actions?
Respond
We see in this passage that our faithfulness to God can impact the people around us. Prompted by Ruth’s faithfulness to Naomi and trust in God, Boaz provided incredible kindness to Ruth. Boaz proved his high standing and devotion to God through his actions. How do your attitudes, actions, or even your prayers reflect faithfulness to God?
Take an inventory of your actions (whether at work, home, church, or toward your spouse, kids, boss, etc.) and consider if the way you act reflects your faithfulness to God. If the Holy Spirit convicts you, repent and ask for His strength to walk in faithfulness each day.

About this Plan

No one knows the feeling of abandonment more than Ruth and Naomi. Their story begins with the worst—death, famine, and poverty. But the book of Ruth doesn’t end with despair. The story brims with hope because God works on behalf of the two widows in ways they least expect. In this 7-part series, Bianca Juárez teaches through Ruth to show how God moves behind the scenes in our lives. On the surface, this book tells the story of two widows and a kind landowner. Even more, it teaches us about God’s faithfulness, love, and providence.
