| | Long suffering, Favor, exaltation,.....why you might ask? RUTH She didn't ask why!(long suffering) Ruth was a woman that didn't ask WHY!.After losing her husband she commited herself to taking care of her mother-in-law even when her mother-in-law tried to release her to live her own life... She didn't ask why!(Favor) she traveled with her mother-in-law because their was a famine in the land where they lived BUT Ruth found favor with Boaz because he recognized her faithfulness to her mother-in-law..... She didn't ask why! Exaltation - She Ended up marrying this rich very influential man
- Why you might Ask? Because she never asked why! We must understand that we don't always need a reason if we have the right heart towards our service no matter what the service is....It could be church, work, etc.....Question is........ what kind of heart do we have? Ruth had a self-less heart.. Not considering just herself and her life but putting her mother-in-law even before herself in humility as unto God. Thus because of her long suffering God recognized it and granted favor and exaltation. Can God count on us to suffer long and not ask why? Maybe some people will think that Ruth went above and beyond the call of duty...but are we even willing to go halfway to the place where Ruth went for the sake of SERVICE?
- WHERE ARE OUR HEARTS CONCERNING SERVICE?
- Is your heart stuck on the question WHY? which may disable from serving!!!
