Ruth 4
Devotional:
Then the women of the town said to Naomi, “Praise the Lord, who has now provided a redeemer for your family! May this child be famous in Israel. (Ruth 4:14)
The account of Ruth concludes with the marriage of Ruth and Boaz and the birth of their son, Obed, whose grandson will be King David and through whose lineage will ultimately come Jesus. The book of Ruth has the themes of loyalty, faithfulness, trust, honor, kindness and love, and we see that Ruth and Boaz are part of a purpose bigger than each of them individually. Together their partnership focuses on the kingdom and the future. Let us also live as people with such loyalty, faithfulness, trust, honor, kindness and love as we recognize that we are part of a bigger story of God’s saving work in our world.

Pray it:
Father, thank you for your great plan of redemption and the way you used the choices and lives of Ruth and Boaz in it. Help me to remember to trust you and your plan in all circumstances and to see your hand is at work in even the smallest details of my life. Amen.
