Destiny

The heat was intense

She had a sore back

But She kept going.

Her mother-in-law needed food.

All day

All hot day.

Then one of the men came over.

He said, “Boss says come and eat.”

She followed shyly

Not sure.

She knew she didn’t fit.

She sat at the far end of the table

Hoping to hide in the noise of food.

He smiled at Her

That was all.

Just as She got up to leave

He said, “Stay in our fields

You will be safe here.

My girls will protect you.

No man will come near.”

She nodded

And left.

When She went home

Tired and a little confused

Her Mother-in-law smiled.

Because She understood.

He had noticed Her

The first day She arrived

Quiet, shy, hardworking

But a foreigner.

He asked about Her

Heard the story

But still, who was She?

Over the harvest

The relationship grew

Proper, honoring each other.

But always quiet

He followed the rules

Faught for Her

Eventually She became His wife.

Her name was Ruth.

He was Boaz.

Many think the greatest love story ever.

But no.

She had a destiny

She didn’t even know about

The Moabitess became a mother.

Then Her family line became Royalty.

Finally, the most Royal of all

JESUS

But She was a quiet woman.

Who fulfilled Her destiny.

If we fulfil our destiny

Where Will God

In His precious plan

Take Us?

We may not see it now

Ruth never did.

But

Are you a Ruth?

A Boaz?

Are you doing what He has called You to?

In your quiet, humble Home.

Father God sees the bigger picture

Follow Him

He knows where He is taking You.
