Daily Soul Boost | PAST IS PAST
Pastor D**g Sarmiento

Ruth 4:13, 17 (CSB) – Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife… And the LORD granted conception to her, and she gave birth to a son… And they named him Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of David.

It is amazing to see the kinds of people God chooses to use. The Israelites were commonly very conscious of lineage and ancestry, and tracing one’s ancestry was certainly important. Yet, as we look at the genealogies in the Bible, we find women who were not born into the covenant community but later chose to make Yahweh their God. Ruth was one of them. Her genuine faith was evidenced by her love, loyalty, and care for her mother-in-law, Naomi. Ruth was honoured by God through His magnificent grace. From her womb came Obed, the grandfather of David and the ancestor of one of the greatest kings Israel ever had.

Our God is a God of love, mercy, and grace. Ruth, a Moabite woman, eventually became the great-grandmother of David. Her story reminds us that regardless of where we came from or how dark our past may have been, if we follow God, surrender our lives to Him, and declare Him to be our God, He can give us a purposeful and beautiful future. The pain of the past may certainly need to be dealt with, but God’s healing and transforming presence makes a new future possible in His loving hands. The past is the past. We can learn from it, but we do not need to be imprisoned by it. When we yield our lives to God, our reason for existing becomes clearer, and our lives can become purposeful and meaningful.

Let us pray that we will not be bogged down by our past, but that God will use even our past experiences to help others who may be going through similar difficulties. May we leave a legacy of faith among the people we meet—whether they are our children, relatives, friends, or simply those within our circle of influence. May God be glorified in these relationships, and may the Holy Spirit lead us to leave a lasting impact for His glory through our lives.

Shalom and love to everyone.

DAILY SOUL BOOST | WORK UNDER GOD’S PROVISION
Pastor D**g Sarmiento

Ruth was a widow, a foreigner, and had very little to support herself and Naomi. Yet when she went out to glean in the fields, God was already providing for her. Boaz allowed Ruth to glean in his field, instructed his workers to protect her, made sure she had access to water, invited her to eat with them, and even commanded his workers to leave extra grain for her. But Boaz did not simply have his workers gather everything for Ruth and bring it to her. Ruth still had to go into the field, bend down, pick up the grain, and work hard to gather what God had provided. Her work was real, but so was God’s provision. In fact, her work became the very means through which God provided for her.

This reminds us that God often provides for us in the same way. His provision does not always mean that He removes the work or responsibility from us. Sometimes He provides the opportunity, the ability, the people, and the circumstances, and then invites us to faithfully do what is in our hands to do. Ruth could not create Boaz’s generosity, produce the grain, or arrange to be in Boaz’s field. From her perspective, she simply happened to come to that field. But behind what seemed like an ordinary day of hard work was the providence of God. We may sometimes look at our work simply as our means of earning a living or accomplishing something, but God may be using that very work as His channel of provision. We work, but ultimately God is the Provider. We do our part faithfully while trusting Him for what only He can do.

Let us therefore not despise the work God has placed before us or think that His provision means we should simply wait for Him to do everything for us. Let us faithfully show up, work diligently, use the opportunities and abilities He has given us, and trust that He is working even when we cannot see what He is doing. Like Ruth, we may only see a field and a day’s work, while God sees the bigger picture of His provision and purpose. May we learn to recognize that sometimes the field where God has placed us is also the field through which He is providing for us.

Shalom and love to everyone!

DAILY SOUL BOOST | Touched by God

Pastor D**g Sarmiento

Naomi, her husband, and their two sons went to the territory of Moab to escape the famine in Bethlehem. Sadly, while they were in Moab, Naomi’s husband and both of her sons died. What remained were Naomi and her two daughters-in-law. Before Naomi returned to her hometown, she strongly urged her daughters-in-law to leave her and return to their families so they could remarry. It was a painful parting, but one of them decided to stay with her. Her name was Ruth.

Ruth refused to leave Naomi. She declared that Naomi’s people would be her people and Naomi’s God would be her God as well. One could surmise that Ruth came to know God during her marriage and through being part of Naomi’s family. We could also assume that, despite living in a pagan society, Naomi and her family remained faithful to God. Ruth was touched by God, and she chose to believe in and follow Yahweh. The lives of Naomi and her family had such a profound impact on Ruth that she was willing to embrace uncertainty and face all the disadvantages that came with following her mother-in-law back to her homeland.

Let us pray that God’s presence in our lives will truly transform and touch us so deeply that we will remain steadfast and faithful to Him wherever we are, regardless of the influences that surround us. May our lives shine ever so brightly that those around us will see God’s glory through us, be drawn to follow Him, and make Jesus their Saviour and Lord as well.

Shalom and love to everyone.

DAILY SOUL BOOST | Worship The Way God Wants To Be Worshipped

Pastor D**g Sarmiento

The statement that everyone did whatever seemed right to him is more than a description of moral confusion. It reveals a declaration of independence from God. At the centre of their worldview was what seemed right to the individual, with little need to consult—or even consider—what was right in the eyes of God. One way this was demonstrated was through a man named Micah. Micah established his own place of worship, made an ephod and household idols, and appointed his son as a priest. Later, he hired a Levite to serve as his priest. Yet God had already established how He was to be worshipped and who was to serve as priests. The priesthood belonged specifically to Aaron and his descendants, while the Levites were set apart for other forms of service to God. Micah’s problem was not that he had no interest in worshipping God. His problem was that he wanted to worship God on his terms rather than on God’s terms.

This is the antithesis of true worship. Worship is not primarily about what we want to offer God; it is about God—who He is, what He has revealed, and what He desires. True worship begins with seeing God’s worth and responding to Him with reverent fear, loving obedience, and a heart overflowing with gratitude. To worship God according to His will is to acknowledge that He has the right to define how we approach Him and how we live before Him. Worship therefore extends beyond what happens when we sing or gather together. It encompasses the whole of life. It means living in a manner that places God first—allowing His Word to shape what we think, what we say, what we do, and ultimately how we live. Jesus said that the Father seeks those who worship Him in spirit and truth. True worship is therefore not simply sincere worship; it is sincere worship shaped by God’s truth and offered from a heart that loves Him.

Let us pray for eyes that truly see God’s worth and hearts that respond to Him with deep reverence. May He become the centre of our lives so that everything we think, say, and do becomes a loving response to His greatness. May we not live according to what seems right to us, as though our own understanding were the final authority. God has given us His Word; He has revealed His will to us, and His will is always good, perfect, and pleasing. May we trust that His way is better than our way, even when we do not fully understand it. And may our desire always be not merely to worship God, but to worship Him the way He wants to be worshipped—according to His truth, through His Spirit, and with hearts overflowing with love and gratitude.

Shalom and love to everyone.

DAILY SOUL BOOST | Who Is Seated On The Throne?
Pastor D**g Sarmiento

Many are familiar with the repeated cycle in the book of Judges: the Israelites would suffer oppression from other nations, then cry out to God. God would send a judge to save them, there would be a period of peace, and then they would once again do whatever seemed right to them. The cycle would then repeat as they fell back into sin and were once again oppressed.

Faith is tested not only when we face suffering. It is also tested when things are okay and we are doing well. When there is relative situational peace, we can easily forget that it is God who is blessing and sustaining us with such peace. Since there seems to be no pressing need for Him, we climb back onto the throne of our lives and begin to live as though we are in control. The reality is that whether we feel desperate for God or not, there needs to be a deliberate and conscious decision to offer and surrender our lives to the kingship of Jesus every single day.

Let us pray that God would keep us mindful, thankful, and dependent on His presence and Lordship in every detail of our lives. May He put reverent fear, joyful delight, and willing submission in our hearts as we remain mindful of His presence, power, goodness, and wisdom as His children who belong to His kingdom.

Shalom and love to everyone!

DAILY SOUL BOOST | Privileged With His Presence

Pastor D**g Sarmiento

Samson was a very impulsive man. He had very little self-restraint. He lusted for beautiful women and gave full vent to his anger. He went on murderous rampages and was “honey trapped” into revealing the secret to his strength. Samson took God’s presence for granted. Even more sad was the fact that his discernment and sensitivity to God’s presence had become so dulled that he failed to notice that it had departed.

As followers of Christ who are indwelt by the Holy Spirit, we have a privilege that Samson did not have. The Holy Spirit will not leave us. God has given us His Spirit as His permanent presence within us. Yet it is still possible for us to become insensitive to His promptings when our hearts are pursuing many things that we mistakenly think will give us life and fulfilment. We often forget that we were made to be in relationship with God, and our hearts will be restless until we find our satisfaction in Him. To bask in His presence through a constant conversation, submission, and obedience to Him is the full life we were designed to live. We do not lose our selfhood when we surrender our lives to Jesus; on the contrary, we find who we are when we give ourselves to Him.

Let us pray that God would protect us from having hearts that become calloused and insensitive to His promptings. Let us pray that He will enable us to willingly and joyfully yield our lives to Him, allowing our moment-by-moment conversations with Him to become the source of overwhelming joy and satisfaction. May we surrender our passions to Him and use our strength—the strength that comes from Him—for His purposes and glory.

Shalom and love to everyone.
