Ruth 2
Devotional:
Father, help me not to have fear drive my actions by rather love – love for you and love for others. May others see, be inspired and blessed as I live a life devoted to loving you and loving my neighbors. Amen. And as it happened, she found herself working in a field that belonged to Boaz, the relative of her father-in-law, Elimelech. (Ruth 2:3)
One of Ruth’s first encounters as an immigrant is the challenge of learning a new culture. She doesn’t know the cultural rules and norms, but she doesn’t let her fear of what may happen drive her actions. Ruth is driven by her need for food and her loyalty to her mother-in-law. And everyone knows it: the harvesters, the other girls in the field, the field foreman and Boaz, to name a few. What drives your day-to-day choices? Do those who interact with you know your motivation? What are they thinking after an encounter with you? How do you bless others when you interact with them? Ruth humbly did and it rocked that community. Can you?
