An Invitation

God speaks. He speaks into our hearts and minds through people, nature, the church. He also speaks to us through His Word. His Word is His love letter to us, His way of helping us remember who we are and assure us of His promises. His Word is the road map to help us live the passionate adventurous lives He always meant for us.

These blog entries are teasers. Insights and revelations to encourage you to read the bible, the greatest piece of literature that was written especially for you, God's child.

Ruth's Humility


Ruth 2:2 And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, "Let me go to the fields and pick up the leftover grain behind anyone in whose eyes I find favor." Naomi said to her, "Go ahead, my daughter."

Have you ever lost someone or something important to you? Parents? Your spouse? Your career and status?

That's precisely what happened to Ruth. She lost her husband--her source of love, income and status. She lost everything. Yet, she decided to look beyond her circumstances. She sought God and pursued Him in her husband's land. But she didn't end there. She took a humble stance. One day, she got up in the morning, put on her working clothes and walked to an unknown field, hoping that she would be able to gather leftover grain.

Are you willing to take a humble stance? Are you willing to give up control, walk into the unknown and seek help? Today, take a humble stance before the Lord and others.
