“Now it came about in the days when the judges governed, that there was a famine in the land.” Ruth 1:1a
Today’s reading brings me to Ruth, and this is how it begins. It is truly an Amazing Story! From this famine, to Ruth’s encounter with Boaz, God Hand of Providence is seen all throughout. And Ruth, this Moabitess, one forever forbidden access to God, is the very Great Grandmother of David!!!
And yet, consider ourselves; our time and place of birth, our parents, our friends, our schools, our workplace; each had a unique purpose and place in our Story. The Who, the When, the Where, and the How, of the Gospel coming to us, was all superintended by God. It was no Accident! And finally, the opening of our Heart! Only Almighty God could do all this. May we fall prostrate before Him today!!!
