Ruth 2:3 “And as it happened, she found herself working in a field that belonged to Boaz,..”
And as it happened. There is no “as it happened’. Any and everything that happens is either my plan or the allowance of another plan. But, even in the latter case, what I allow is to, over time, bring about my plan. Do not believe any of what is happening in your world is a surprise to me. Do not, either, believe that there is nothing I can or will do about it. But, just as Ruth went to the fields to gather grain – she did not sit home and wait for someone to bring food to her – just as Ruth took the initiative to wander out in what, to her, was a strange land, looking for food, so you must take the initiative to make life work. You must take a stand, you must work for what you believe is necessary. Do you have food, shelter, clothing? Yes. I have provided all of that and continue to do so. What do you lack? You lack action. You are a faithful child in a faithless world. I did not put you there by accident. I have not kept you, fed you, strengthened you, taught you for nothing. I have been preparing you for this moment since your birth. Will you stand up for me? Will you take a stand against the evil that is in your world, that is trying to overtake your people? What are you willing to risk? Some things? Most things? Everything? Step out and see what I can and will do. You have but seen a small sample of my power. Exodus. Crossing the Red Sea. It was frightening, yes. You are in the middle of that sea. Will you keep walking forward? Will you draw others with you? Tomorrow is key. Do not live in fear. Live in me. (2020)
