Girl Power - Ruth 3, Part 2

June 23, 2023

What that means, though, is that if eventually the other person can no longer provide what you desire, then the deal is off. But contemporary society is wrong.

The story of Ruth falls in the time of the Judges, showing us one family and within that, one woman, Ruth. God, in the midst of the chaos of Judges, has His people, has His purpose—and here's Ruth. And God uses her in amazing ways.

Boaz is a hero in this story as the redeemer, using the resources that God has given him. Boaz takes responsibility, and there's a call here for men not to be passive but to be redeemer figures over the areas of life that God has given them to take care of.

One of the most important steps in spiritual growth is to bring the stories we tell ourselves into line with the gospel story. The whole purpose of this story in Ruth is to weave into our minds the right stories to tell ourselves: that you are loved, that God is the Creator, He's out to win you, and His plan will be fulfilled in your life if you turn to Him.

As we head into the book of Ruth, we find a cinematic story that you can almost see and feel. For this Israelite family to go to Moab was to head into enemy territory, almost as if we we were to leave church for a mosque to escape economic hardship or a political disturbance.

Finding peace with God is not about how we feel or what sort of emotional state we are in right now. It's about an actual, definite, real reconcilliation with God that is certain, unshakeable, and unchangeable.

The heart of the question of our modern world is, "How can we, with our science and technology, actually know God?" Philosophers have concluded that it's not possible. Some theologians have said that we need a new kind of Christian. Paul has a different view.

Growing strong in faith is partly about learning to take ourselves less seriously and God more seriously. Abraham laughed at the absurdity of two centenarians procreating. This kind of laughter makes ourselves small and God big.

Abraham's story is hardly one of moral perfection. So how can he be such a model of faith given all that Abraham did?
