“As it turned out” [Ruth 2:3(NIV)]
September 27, 2023
“As it turned out”. What seemed like a chance event was arranged by God Himself. Ruth’s servant heart was what God needed to fulfil His divine plan. As well as sharing the sadness of widow-hood, she was willing to share in the burden that came with it.
Yet little did she know what God had in store. As she picked up the left-overs of barley, she picked up a place in the family line into which Christ would come.
However hard life may treat you, the Lord can still use you. As with Ruth and with Mary, the Lord looks for those with a servant heart. Nothing depends on chance when we walk with the Lord. Like Ruth, it may only be in eternity that we become aware of just how God has been able to use us for His glory, but the joy will be unsurpassed and last forever.
