Ruth’s Example, Day 7

A woman of noble character. Read Ruth 3:7-11.

Ruth makes her request and we see Boaz’s response. He is going to address the issue, but he makes a statement about Ruth that is really interesting. He calls her a woman of noble character. For me, this called to mind the woman described in Proverbs 31. It’s not too far of a stretch to imagine that this passage in Proverbs 31 could have been a description of Ruth.

When we think about being a Godly woman and following the example of a Godly woman, we recognize that Ruth was embodying everything that would have been later described in Proverbs 31. Will we follow Ruth’s example and will others describe us that way?
