My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19
The story of Ruth is a marvellous story of hope. If you are feeling hopeless today, what should you do?
Do what you can. Ruth took responsibility, and she used the strength God had given her. She also took the initiative to go out into the field and work hard. In addition, Ruth cultivated good relationships with the servants and with Boaz. Paul tells us to “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure” (Phil. 2:12-13). If God is at work in you, you will be motivated to do all that you can.
Stay close to where blessing is found. Boaz told Ruth not to go to another field, but to “keep close to my young women” (2:8). Boaz showed great kindness to Ruth. Other fields were fraught with danger, but God in His kindness had brought Ruth to a good place. Why would she go anywhere else? If you want to find hope, stay close to where blessing is found.
Take refuge under the wings of God. Jesus said, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem… How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing!” (Mat. 23:37).
The last thing in the world you want to do is to push Jesus away. Jesus will welcome you. He will bless you. He invites you to come and to eat at His table, and He will provide for you.
Reflect on this truth: “My God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory” (Phil. 4:19).
