Ruth 3a

Life is perhaps hard. But to Naomi and Ruth, it is always promising. Naomi is always proactive and adventurous. She has a new insight to the future and plans ahead, it must be God-given strength to help her overcome difficulties.

One day her mother-in-law Naomi said to Ruth, “My dear daughter, isn’t it about time I arranged a good home for you so you can have a happy life? And isn’t Boaz our close relative, the one with whose young women you’ve been working? Maybe it’s time to make our move. Tonight is the night of Boaz’s barley harvest at the threshing floor. (Ruth 3:1, 2 MSG)

“Take a bath. Put on some perfume. Get all dressed up and go to the threshing floor. But don’t let him know you’re there until the party is well under way and he’s had plenty of food and drink. When you see him slipping off to sleep, watch where he lies down and then go there. Lie at his feet to let him know that you are available to him for marriage. Then wait and see what he says. He’ll tell you what to do.” (Ruth 3:3, 4 MSG)

Out of love, she gives instructions to Ruth step by step.

In return, Ruth did what Naomi without any hesitation. What a blessing to have someone you can trust wholly whom will care for you by all means!!  Future are not us to tell but this Naomi's love towards Ruth that tends to give her future-a promising future.

What am I coaching my girls?  Am I really doing?  How do I teach my girls? Will I have a simple faith to rely on Him who will provide and protect, I just air what I think in my mind.

They may take my advice or may not. It is out of my scope of influence.  

What I can learn from this?
