Because of Ruth's faithfulness and circumspection, >all the broad acres in which she once gleaned as a destitute alien are >now hers, for she has become one with the owner. >When we are one with Christ, we are no longer aliens in another's >fields; and being one with Christ, all that is His is now also ours. As >Ruth is translated from isolation and poverty to union and wealth in >Boaz, so we become fellow heirs of the riches of Christ and the grace of >God. It is likely that the story of Ruth is intended by God to picture >our redemption in Christ. And our story is even greater than Ruth's >story. > >PRAYER >• Ruth is such a beautiful story of redemption. Praise the Lord for His >redemption for us: >Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, >But to Your name give glory, >Because of Your mercy, >Because of Your truth. . . . >You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord; >He is their help and their shield. . . . >We will bless the Lord from >this time forth and forevermore. Praise the Lord! (Psalm 115:1, 11, 18). > >• Pause for personal praise and thanksgiving. Pray this confession to >the Lord as you seek to keep your life free from sin: >He has not dealt with us according to our sins, >Nor punished us according to our iniquities. >For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His mercy >toward those who fear Him; >As far as the east is from the west, >So far has He removed our transgressions from us (Psalm 103:10-12). > >• Confess any sins that the Holy Spirit brings to your mind. Now pause >to pray this affirmation to the Lord: >Unto us a Child is born, >Unto us a Son is given; >And the government will be upon His shoulder. >And His name will be called >Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, >Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace >(Isaiah 9:6). > >• As you make your requests known to the Lord, pray for: >• greater passion for moral excellence, >• Christian education institutions, >• your activities for the day. >• Finally, offer this closing prayer: >The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and >the love of God, and the communion of >the Holy Spirit be with you all.
