Ruth
3 – The kinsman Redeemer
Naomi
got rid of her bitterness and began to think of others. She told Ruth how to approach Boaz, her
kinsman Redeemer. He was a near relative who was able to redeem, but was he
willing to redeem?
She
was already under the Lord’s wings, but she requested to be under the wing of
Boaz. He was only too happy to comply!
Up to that point Ruth was doing all the work, but then Boaz went to work for
Ruth. It was time for Ruth to rest and
wait, trusting her kinsman-redeemer.
Ruth
is a good example for us to follow when we have needs to be met. She listened to instructions, obeyed,
believed what her redeemer said, received his gifts, and waited in patience for
him to do the rest.
When
we are at the feet of the Redeemer, we have nothing to fear.
There
is a wonderful peace that will come to the heart that will trust Him,
recognizing that He has completed it all. It is based on His work upon the cross for you
and me that God saves us.
We
either trust Him or we don’t trust Him. There is no middle ground. We are
either resting in Him or we are trying to earn our own salvation.
