************************************************************************************

Ruth 1:19-2:23

THE HOUR OF SERVICE

#2 of 4 in a Series on Ruth

(The other parts of the series are found in Chapters 1,3,&4.)

Read Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 - This passage conveys a truth we see throughout our lives and the lives of others. There is a time for about everything! Each emotion and each circumstance has its hour in which to shine.

I once had a good friend named Edgar Cragle. There was an hour in his life when he worked for Wise Potato Chips and also ran a small country store. There was another hour when he nursed his wife, Beatrice, who was mostly bedridden for a long time. There was an hour when Beatrice died and Edgar mourned. Another hour found Edgar returning to his local church to serve as a deacon.

At about the same hour, Edgar met and started dating a widow named Elsie. There was an hour when Edgar and Elsie were married by me and lived happy lives together. Then there was an hour of sickness for Edgar followed by an hour of death. I miss this friend but I know he is enjoying still another hour in Heaven.

Last time we started talking about the various hours in the Life of Ruth. We saw Ruth's Hour of Decision. She chose to follow her mother-in-law back to Israel and to believe on Israel's God (Ruth 1:15-16). Ruth's decision was a salvation decision. This week we find Ruth in the Hour of Service. Ruth worked after she was saved. This principle is true for all believers (Ephesians 2:10).

SHE SAW THE NEED - 1:19-21

Because Ruth had stuck by Naomi, she was able to see the desperate state that she was in. She became aware of Naomi's needs. She saw that Naomi was both depressed and destitute.

As Ruth saw Naomi's needs, we also need to be aware of those around us. Perhaps someone needs encouragement, or salvation, or physical or financial help. Let us try to be sensitive to the needs of others.

SHE SOUGHT A SOLUTION - 1:22-2:2

They returned during Barley Harvest. Vs. 22

Boaz, a relative of Naomi's late husband, is introduced. He was a wealthy farmer. Vs. 1

Ruth saw the problem of poverty and requests that she be allowed to go glean. Gleaning was an activity of the poor. Vs. 2, Leviticus 19:9

Like Ruth, when we see problems, with God's help we should seek solutions.

SHE SECURED A POSITION - Vss. 3-8

God guided Ruth to just the right field, belonging to Boaz. Vs. 3, Psalm 32:8

Boaz learned about Ruth. Vss. 4-7

Boaz gave Ruth a generous offer. Vss. 8-9

SHE SHOWED APPRECIATION - Vs. 10

Ruth indicated how much she appreciated the kindness of Boaz

SHE SHARED HER REWARD - Vss. 11-23

Boaz showed further kindness and generosity. Vss. 11-17

Ruth shared the results of Boaz' kindness and her own efforts with her mother-in-law.
