Feed and Pick up Blessings!
“At meal time Boaz said to her, “Come here, and eat some bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar.” She sat beside the reapers, and they passed her parched grain, and she ate, and was satisfied, and left some of it. When she had risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves, and don’t reproach her. Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it. Let her glean, and don’t rebuke her.”” (Ruth 2:14-16 WEB)
In the Book of Ruth, Boaz, Ruth’s kinsman redeemer, is a picture of our Lord Jesus Christ who redeemed us from slavery to sin. Ruth is a picture of us (the church)—the bride of Christ.
In the passage above, we see Ruth being invited to sit with Boaz and to eat bread together—a picture of close fellowship and feeding on God’s word.
After she ate until she was satisfied, only then did she get up to work. Dear brethren, we must get the order right—feed on God’s word together with Jesus first, before meeting life’s demands out of the revelation and strength we receive from the Word.
Boaz asked his reapers to pull out some sheaves of grain for Ruth. The reapers are a picture of God’s angels who are sent to minister to us.
Good news—we have blessings in our path which are easy to pick up. Instead of strenuous labor, Jesus makes it restful for us—we enjoy maximum blessings with minimal work, and this is the favor of God upon us who are righteous in Christ.
Yesterday I picked up a lovely surprise in my path when a dear reader and patron suddenly sowed a big love gift into our ministry via our Ko-Fi page.
May God multiply his seed in abundance back to him!
I felt so loved by Jesus and that He will surely provide for me, even in the face of so much financial pressure.
Keep feeding on God’s word, and make Jesus a part of that—involve Him by asking Him to reveal the meaning of the Scriptures to you and to give you fresh revelation.
You are going to walk directly into your blessings. They are already ahead of you, in your path!
