Stay here with the woman who works for me. Watch the fields where the men are harvesting and follow along after the women. I have told the men to not lay a hand on you, and whenever you are thirsty, go and get a drink from the water jars the men have filled. At this she bowed with her face on the ground. She asked him, Why have I found such favor in your eyes that you have noticed me, a foreigner?

Boaz replied, My God, this literally replicates us pursuing the things of God, even though we grew up in a different circumstance, even though we had, you know, maybe a different family or a Maybe you lived a life where it was born into a family that was very far from God.

Ruth chose to leave her father and her mother and her old land to pursue a people that she doesn't even know, but she had hope in them because she heard what God has done in that land. And I love how Ruth made an impression on Boaz because she did a good job. Ruth made a good impression on Boaz because she worked well. She gleaned well. She served well.

There was an intentionality behind what Ruth was doing. And I think sometimes we think we please God, you know, just simply by actions. But Ruth had an action accompanied by an intentionality. And so I would even prompt the question of, as we're growing and doing the things of God, and even though we feel like we're doing all the right things, are you doing it

with a correct heart are you serving with a pure heart are you are you gleaning and working with intentions that align with the heart of god are you doing it for selfish motive and ambition i believe what this story is showing us is that not only did boaz see the works that ruth was doing but he saw the heart of which ruth was doing it at And so Jesus looks at us in the same way.

We could be working and doing the things for God all day, but the moment we do not have correct intentions, it's all done in vain. And so it's a matter of knowing what the Bible says, faith without works is dead. Is that works is a repercussion of faith because works is just the evidence of what you're already experiencing on the inside.

And so Ruth didn't even know it yet, but she was a woman of faith. Because she had pure intentions. She wanted to serve. She wanted to help. She literally made this declaration to Naomi. She said, whoever your God is, is going to be my God. And whoever your people is, they're going to be my people now. Because Ruth was devoted to Naomi. She had a compassion for her.

And through that compassion, that's going to make you want to leave any old thing and just pursue the new. And so God provided or continued to provide for Ruth and Naomi throughout the story.

And after we see this encounter that Boaz has with Ruth, which is him basically granting her a whole bunch of favor, favor that you just don't get on a random Sunday, favor that is absolutely appointed by God. He said, I have found favor in you and you do not have to do all these things like how you once did because I'm giving you favor. A new fresh wind. I've seen how hard you've worked.

I've seen your intention. I've seen that even though you went through a hard circumstance, you still went and served under your mother-in-law. And she didn't have to do it, but she did because she had a pure heart. And God is going to honor pure intentions that align with his will. And so after this story, Ruth came back with the favor and the fruit of her hard work.
