Text: Ruth 3:1-7 (KJV)
3 Then
Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for
thee, that it may be well with thee?
2 And
now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he
winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.
3 Wash
thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee
down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have
done eating and drinking.
4 And
it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall
lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will
tell thee what thou shalt do.
5 And
she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.
6 And
she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law
bade her.
7 And
when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at
the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and
laid her down.
KEY VERSE: “Wash thyself
therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to
the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done
eating and drinking.” – (Ruth 3:3)

DAILY
MANNA FOR TODAY
Life
is full of challenges and without doubt, places a lot of pressures on us.
Our
passage reflects the desire of Naomi, Ruth’s mother-in-law, to resettle the
young widow fully and propel her into a future of peace and prosperity. She
gave her clear steps to take and Ruth observed the instructions painstakingly.
Unsurprisingly, she got a wonderful testimony that resonates till today.
Our
disposition and attitude to challenges will determine whether we will overcome
or be overwhelmed. Positive attitude, carefulness and faith in God helps us to
look beyond the present to a future of fulfilment and bliss. It is wrong to
allow our present circumstance or situation, no matter how bad, to affect and
hinder us from making progress. When we dwell too much on our present, it will
no doubt becloud our vision and ability to see the glorious future God has
prepared for us.
Drawing
lessons from this account, we must never forget that God knows everything from
the beginning to the end of our lives. We must, therefore, obey His commands
and follow the guidance of His Spirit at all times. Inwardly and outwardly, we
must maintain a holy and beautiful disposition with decency. Jesus Christ alone
can give us rest from life troubles. He is the only One who can make our small
beginning to greatly increase. However, this will only happen if we obey and
serve Him (Job 36:11). It requires that we take positive steps today to heed
God’s call to surrender to Him and allow Him to guide us. To prepare for our
eternal rest, we must wash and be cleansed in the blood of the Lamb so we can
be clothed with the raiment of righteousness.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
A closer walk with God is the key for every overcomer.
