Truth for Today #23

II. RUTH’S RESPECT FOR NAOMI

1. She reported back to Naomi. Verse 18, she showed her the respect due to a mother.

2. She thought of Noami during her labours. “She . . gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed,” verse 18. The word “sufficed” links her giving to the meal in the field, verse 14. She was thinking of Naomi as she enjoyed Baoz’s kindness and provision. She who was hard-working in the fields was kind-hearted in the home.

3. They both rejoiced at God’s provision. So it aught to be with us all and even more so as we enjoy a greater measure of bounty than did these women.
“He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters,” Psalm 23:2.

“He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings. And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation; and sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase,” Psalm 107:35-37.

We were considering: That there is no area of Bible knowledge today about which God’s people are more confused and deluded than that of the end times.

We think back to the blindness of the people when Christ first came to this world and we can see how it would suit the devil if he could repeat that deception.
“He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not,” John 1:10-11.

The words of the Saviour in this parable tells us that to a large measure, that deception will be repeated. There is a great alteration in the state of alertness of the church as depicted in verse 1 and that of the verse 5.

Sleep will overtake the Church Christ says. Sleep is a caring for the body. Such will be the occupation of men in the last days. Matt 24:37-39.

Even Christians are very much caught up with the pampering of the body today!! It is a £multi-billion industry!

It was not so with the early church. It was awake and waiting!

Rom 8:19. “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.”

Php 3:20. “For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.”

It may be easily understood that it would suit the devil’s cause very well indeed if we can be deceived and deluded with regards God’s will. After all, that was the essence of the very first temptation. We are told that the serpent beguiled Eve through his craftiness. It was Paul’s concern that the Corinthians might not be likewise beguiled, 2 Corinthians 11:3.

I believe that there is no area of Bible knowledge today about which God’s people are more confused and deluded than that of the end times.
