#Day 47: 16 February 2016

BE LIKE RUTH

" ... Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me.” - Ruth 1:16 – 17

There are so many good points that I can learn from Ruth:

• Ruth is determined:
• When Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she said nothing more (Ruth 1:18)

• Ruth is selfless:
• Just read how she responded to Naomi request when she asked her to leave (Ruth 1: 16-17)

• Ruth is diligent and humble:
• “Let me go out into the harvest fields to pick up the stalks of grain left behind by anyone who is kind enough to let me do it.” (Ruth 2:2)
• ".... She asked me this morning if she could gather grain behind the harvesters. She has been hard at work ever since, except for a few minutes’ rest in the shelter.” (Ruth 2:7)

• Ruth is full of gratitude:
• "... Ruth fell at his feet and thanked him warmly. “What have I done to deserve such kindness?” she asked". (Ruth 2:10)

• Ruth is virtuous:
  • “.. Now don’t worry about a thing, my daughter. I will do what is necessary, for everyone in town knows you are a virtuous woman" (Ruth 3:11)

Ruth is good. Be like Ruth.
