Today the Lord is teaching us two things, humility and obedience – observe the law and at the same time to be humble. In our own experience, we too have missed this instruction. When we observe the commandments, we consider ourselves great but when we fall away from the Lord, we feel miserable. But the invitation today is not to get stuck in our own little thoughts. Ruth never left her mother-in-law in a time when she needed help the most. Instead, she stayed back and supported her in every possible way she could. Boaz at the same time who knew the background of Ruth and of her kindness towards Naomi paid her back with what they needed at that time. Providence, protection and dignity. Divinely this is a testimony of the intervention and reward of God for Ruth’s decision for choosing God leaving behind her former gods. Let us leave behind our former ways of thinking, beliefs and understanding humble ourselves before God and experience Him in a supernatural way!

Prayer: Abba Father, ignite the fire of your love in us. Fill in the gaps of our sin and selfishness with your understanding. Amen!
