My Guardian-Redeemer

As I study the book of Ruth. I find that Ruth is an excellent example of a virtuous woman. And very devoted to her family...and she faithfully dependent upon God thy Father. ( Proverbs 31:30) states that her speech is Godly. Every word is loving, kind and very respectful...to Naomi and Boaz. As I read I see that she speaks with so much wisdom. Indeed she is a role model for me and the future women to come. After reading the Book of Ruth. I realize that I have been granted safe pasture and the "Lord God Almighty has been my Guardian- Redeemer even before I was born. Having a plan for my life. My "Guardian has been with me live and in color...I just didn't see that until now and It took 40 years.

Naomi states in (Ruth 1:20-21) "to call her Mara because the Almighty has made my life very bitter...I went away full but the Lord has brought me back empty." At this point; I began to think on all the times I was full with blessings from my Father. I realize that I took him for granted... that I would be always full never coming up empty. Sometimes in our lives we will go through twists and turns just to bring us right back where we belong. I am a firm believer that all things work together for the good of those that believe. I know that God has my back no matter what the circumstances are. (Isaiah 54:17) says no weapon. Formed against thee shall prevail. I have learned that what I focus on is what I capture...and that I must be willing to adjust my focus. Ruth's Godly character took her very far in life...because she adjusted her focus to God's plan and only his plan and she was rewarded favour for doing so. Amen!!!

'While waiting on your Boaz lay down pride and not your dignity'

The book of Ruth is a wonderful role model of friendship, loyalty and commitment to God and to all sistas all over this universe. Even though this is not our home and we are just passing through heaven bound. While here be a good mentor to each other. Be a good sista on the move for Christ. The Book of Ruth states that she laid down pride and not her dignity while waiting on her "Boaz." She remain loyal to Naomi... and stayed faithful to God. This is the kind of love, and faithfulness that God desires for us all. Obedience is the key factor here. What I have learned here is that Ruth had an open mind and a teachable spirit...with a lot of love in her for her mother-in-law and God and she was rewarded for believing that our Father exists."Praising God in all that I do." Amen!

Jesus is my..."breath of life."

Psalms 91:1 states whoever dwells in the shelter of the most high God...will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. What this scripture mean to me is that "God" is my safe place..."He" is my shelter in a storm...my deliver, healer and my redeemer. I can rest beneath "His" wings until the storm has passed over. It also convey that in my trails and tribulation.I am not alone. My Prince of Peace is right there with me. I turn to this scripture when I have severe solicitude. Psalms 91 gives me comfort and reliance that my faith in "Him" is real. Jesus is my..."breath of life." Amen!!!!!!!
