it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she went into
the city.
16 And
when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And
she told her all that the man had done to her.
17 And she
said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty
unto thy mother in law.
18 Then
said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for
the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.

DAILY
MANNA FOR TODAY
John
Wesley once said, “When a man becomes a Christian, he becomes industrious,
trustworthy and prosperous. Now, if that man when he gets all he can and saves
all he can, does not give all he can, I have more hope for Judas Iscariot than
for that man!” Generosity is the hallmark of people like Boaz who are always
willing to use every opportunity to help less privileged people around them.
Ruth
was a poor widow living with her mother-in-law, also a widow. They had very
little resources and Ruth had to take every available opportunity to work on
the field. In the passage we are reading today, her mother-in-law advised her
to take advantage of the festive occasion to remind Boaz, their kinsman, of his
family responsibility. Apart from promising to take action on her request, Boaz
took immediate steps to assist the poor family with food.
The
Bible has a lot to say about generosity. God gave us His Son Jesus Christ who
also gave His life a ransom to free mankind from the shackles of sin. Giving is
foundational to true fellowship among believers who do not take advantage of
the weak. Boaz did not abuse his status as a wealthy lord to lure Ruth into any
form of ungodliness. Generosity among saints must be genuine and pure.
True
generosity affects not only our material resources but our time and talents as
well. We must be generous in making time available for the work of God and do
all we can to make sure that the gospel is preached to the lost world. That is
one good way we must be generous in our labour. It is also the way to truly
give for the cause of Christ.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Titus 1-3
