TOPIC: LESSON FROM NAOMI AND RUTH. Ruth: The Diligent Woman (6)
MEMORY VERSE:
Psalms 32:8.
“8. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.”
BIBLE READING:
Ruth 2:1-2.
“1. And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.”
“2. And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.”
“God does not bless a lazy hands, for an idle hand is a workshop of the devil. Be diligent.”
We all know that Naomi was an old woman by this time and she can’t do much for her living. Ruth was young and active but she knows no where she can turn to because she was new to the city but because of her diligence she seek for the survival of both of them by telling her mother-in-law,
“Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace.”
She neither ask for where to go or wait for her to instruct her on what to do, she acted and went in search of their survival. Are you that man or woman, lady or guy waiting for manna to fall from heaven without doing anything? That’s laziness, good fortune doesn’t follow those who never dare to do something with their lives. Ruth would have given an excuse of being a visitor, a Moabite among the Hebrews. She would have asked the woman to direct her or introduced her to someone but Instead, she went out to search for where to earn for their survival. Stop waiting for empty promises, stop praying inside the room without going out in search for job. Stop waiting for someone to introduce you to someone, go out there and search for what to do. Diligence is all about “responding to your ability” – Responsibility. Search for something to lay your hands on. Remember the book of proverbs, 22:29, which says,
“29. Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.”
Diligency announces a man not idleness. Get up and find something to do. If job is not visible, get a hand work to learn, go for a seller rep, make something out to sell, you can’t continue to wait for someone who has forgotten your existence. Start a small business till you get what you desire. Be diligent in something.
