The Journey of Ruth, Day 6

The legacy. Read Ruth 4:18-22.

As we come to the end of the book of Ruth, we see the legacy. Ruth’s decisions and her obedience in all the choices she made that led up to that point, we see the culmination here in how God used her to build a legacy that led to a king that was a man after God’s own heart.

When we think about the choices that we make, do we recognize that each and every choice leads us down a path that will ultimately result in the legacy that we leave to those behind us. God desires our obedience, not just for our own benefit, but also for the benefit of those that come after us. Our obedience gives us the opportunity to share what God has done through us in so many ways.

What is our legacy? How will our choices today be remembered by those that come behind us?
