Ruth was an inconsequential outsider whose life tells the story of God’s miraculous ways, love & intervention in the affairs of ordinary folks. The Lord promises to be father to the fatherless; friend to the friendless; hope for the hopeless; and husband to the widow. His favour is able to lift the poor out of the dung hill, and to place them with princes (Psalm 113:7-8).
At some stage in her life, she began with the little endeavour of gleaning for left over crops at other people’s farmland; then God made her the owner (through marriage) of plots of land. Her story began with that of a widow and ended thus, Boaz married Ruth, she had a son called Obed, Obed was the father of Jesse, and Jesse the father of David (Ruth 4:21-22).
May the Lord’s rich blessings and favour avail for you and your families; and may your small beginnings be transformed to great endeavours, in Jesus name,
