And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not: Ruth 2:15 KJV
I don't know if you are familiar with the story of Ruth. So let me do a quick review. She was married to the son of Naomi. Naomi's husband, Elimech had died but she had two sons and then two daughters in law and suddenly her sons were killed leaving all three women alone. Naomi told her two daughters to go back to their hometown because she was too old to birth sons for them to marry. One daughter in law, went on her merry way, the other declared Naomi's people would be her people, her God will be her God and where Naomi goes, she's going right with her. Not enough time to expound on how powerful this is but I'll just say this is unusual behavior. Two women without husbands in that time could be catastrophic. But Ruth had a calling on her life, and Ruth, the Moabite, would say yes and would serve Naomi with every part of her being.
So, they returned to Naomi’s homeland, and they had to figure out how they would survive. Naomi gave her instructions on how to get food to eat and how to win the heart of the man who would later become Ruth's husband. There is something about listening to the wisdom of your elders. Ruth went and gleaned from the leftovers of the harvesters who were working on the farm of Boaz. Boaz returned and saw her gleaning the scraps that were left behind. Boaz inquired. Boaz realizes she is the woman he heard had given up her life for Naomi, his cousin's wife. He thought that was admirable and told the men not to bother her in fact, he told them, instead of her just getting the scraps, let some sheaves drop for her. To some of us this would have been beneath us. For some of us we would have missed out on God's provision because it doesn't look the way we are accustomed to seeing provision. Naomi could have regretted this new way of living, regretted that her life has come to this. I’m sure her sister-in-law went back home and revealed that Ruth went with Naomi, so she couldn’t leave now and go back home. Ruth, who now knew the true and living God had faith that teaches all of us something. Ruth not only trusted God, she trusted God’s provision. She trusted God as her waymaker and whatever way God provided was alright with her. She was prepared to glean the leftovers the farmers didn’t want but because of her faithfulness God used Boaz to bless her. Check out the end of the story and you will see when you change your thoughts on God’s provision, you won’t have room enough to receive. Explore the Nugget: How thankful have you been for the little things? Can you think of something God provided for you and you believed it wasn’t good enough? Begin to bless God for all, thankfulness is your password to access more of God’s provision. How thankful have I truly been for the “small” or unexpected ways God has provided for me? Can I recall a time when God provided, but I dismissed it because it didn’t look the way I expected? What blessings might I have overlooked because pride, comparison, or disappointment shaped my perspective? How would my faith grow if I trusted that God’s provision—no matter the form—is always intentional and sufficient?
