Do you have some extra time on your hands or busier than ever? Either way, now is the time to make this a priority. Whatever else we may think is important, this should be at the top of the list. Everything else is temporary. Our relationship with the LORD should be our boast and joy. Let’s keep making time for Him no matter what else is going on.

We have a reason for confidence and hope. Christ has risen from the grave, it’s a historical fact. And facts have consequences. And when we anchor or life to facts like the resurrection, it changes how we live. And in the midst of fear and uncertainty around s and maybe within us, the resurrection of Christ gives us a reason for confidence and hope.

God had a word of hope for the beleaguered exiles of Jerusalem living in Babylon. That message of hope and grace is ultimately fulfilled in Christ for us. We walk through this familiar verse and its surrounding context to understand how our troubling times are not an indication that God has lost control. Rather, His message to us is that He has a plan to give us hope and confidence beyond our circumstances.

Boaz and Ruth were faithful to God in their generation. God used that faithfulness to pivot the story of redemption from Genesis all the way to King David and beyond to the King of kings Jesus. Yet, like us, Ruth and Boaz did not realize the importance of their place in God’s story, they were just doing the right thing because God said to do it. May we take heart to remain faithful and let God do His work for the glory of Christ.

Boaz and Ruth are such godly examples for us to emulate. Yet both of them humbly trusted God for their salvation. Even Boaz admitted (beyond what he understood) that there was a closer Redeemer than he could be. And so we finish by looking at the Greater Redeemer than Boaz. Jesus purchases our sin debt to God, rescues us from slavery to sin, and reconciles us into the family of God. He is our Greater Redeemer.
