SPIRITUAL DIARY

 

My Worship Time                                        Focus:  Ruth promised to obey

 

Bible Reading & Meditation                        Reference:  Ruth 3:5

 

            Message of the verses:  “5 She said to her, ‘All that you say I will do.’”

            I believe that the thing the Naomi was telling Ruth to do was the will of the Lord in Ruth’s life, as will show in the conclusion of the book.  Ruth was choosing to obey the will of the Lord without hesitation and because of her obedience she would be blessed by the Lord for she would be married to Boaz because of her obedience and would be in the blood line of the Messiah, being the grandmother of King David, what an honor!

 

            Spiritual meaning for my life today:  As Dr. Wiersbe “The will of God is not a cafeteria where we can pick and choose what we want.  God expects us to accept all that He plans for us and to obey Him completely.  Coming to God with a hidden agenda and with reservations in our hearts will only lead to grieving the Spirit and missing God’s best.”   These are good words to live by.  Sometimes it is difficult to discern the will of God, but most of the time when I follow the written Word of God I will be following the will of God in my life.

 

My Steps of Faith for Today:

 

1. Proverbs 3:5-6 is my step of faith for today:  “5  Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
