Ruth’s Example, Day 6

Ruth’s obedience. Read Ruth 3:1-6.

Naomi finally stops feeling sorry for herself and realizes that she has the means and the ability to help take care of her daughter-in-law. Naomi starts to see her purpose again and find hope in what she has to do. Naomi gives Ruth some specific advice on how to get the conversation started with a potential kinsman redeemer.

The advice may have seemed odd and strange to Ruth at the time, but but she took and did exactly what her mother-in-law told her to do. She trusted her mother-in-law because she knew that her mother-in-law, even with all the difficulties she had been going through, was still someone who sought after God.

We need to surround ourselves and our lives with people who are seeking after God. They may not be perfect, but we can rest assured that if they are following God, they are intent on trying to find his way. Are we seeking after God ourselves? Are we surrounding ourselves and allowing people to give us advice who are seeking after God?
