Community Help Is Needed

Ruth 2:8, 10

Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens:

Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?


***Upon entering Bethlehem, Ruth showed a strong determination to provide for herself and her mother in law, Naomi, by going in the field to work. She worked in the field of Boaz, a rich man kinsman of Naomi's late husband.

After seeing Ruth, Boaz got information about her from his workers. Knowing she was a Moabite made no difference in showing favoritism and admiration towards her. He was impressed by her hard work, dedication, and her love for her mother in law.


***When we are in need God helps us - by showing mercy and grace at whatever stage of life we are in.  His mercy is new every morning, according to scriptures. 

We should always show God our faithfulness and dedication to his word, and the work He has called us to do.  Upon entering into the mission He has placed before us, we should be determined to work hard for the Lord, and dedicated to His cause. He too will be impressed by a job well done.

God has no respect of a person; what He does for one He will do for the other.

When we are in need, sometimes we must depend on our community for help.


Until we meet again.
