Love God Greatly: RuthSample

Boaz is a man of honor, and rather than rashly respond out of emotion, he makes a rational choice that protects Ruth and ensures she will be provided for as God intends. He understands that compromise and cutting corners will not be blessed by God, so he waits until morning and follows the protocols God has outlined for the kinsman redeemer. If we grow impatient with God’s timing and directives, we end up making impulsive decisions from the flesh, rather than waiting for the leading of the Spirit. God’s ways are always better than ours. If we choose to honor Him, He will make a way for us just as He did for Ruth and Boaz. Lord God, help us to trust Your timing and honor You with our choices. May we always follow Your leading and never run ahead of Your will for us. Amen.
