Protection And Provision
. . . Do not go to glean in another field . . .
Ruth 2:8
Today's Bible Reading: Ruth 2:1-12.
The book of Ruth is about faith, loyalty, and God's providence, showing how He works through ordinary people to bring about His redemptive purposes.
Today's text (Ruth 2:8) shows Boaz offering protection, provision, and direction, which mirrors how God leads us when we trust in His plan. Boaz, as picture of God's heart, instructs Ruth to stay close to his workers, ensuring her needs are met and that she stays in the place of blessing. In a spiritual sense, this is a reminder of how easy it is to stray toward other distractions—pleasures, pursuits, or even other beliefs—but God’s best for us is found in staying near to Him, in the fields where He provides. Boaz, offering Ruth safety and sustenance, points to the ways God invites us to remain close to Him, in His will, where we can experience His abundance. Just as Ruth was already being blessed by following God’s leading to Boaz’s field, our greatest fulfilment comes from being rooted in God's purpose for our lives.
Prayer
Almighty God, thank You, for Your protection, provision, and direction. In Christ's name. Amen.
