This Sunday we looked at the story of Ruth (Ruth 1–3) and what it means to trust God’s timing.
“Orpah kissed her mother-in-law good-bye. But Ruth clung tightly to Naomi.” – Ruth 1:14
Ruth chose covenant over convenience.
Faith over familiarity.
Purpose over comfort.
She didn’t rush love.
She didn’t manipulate outcomes.
She stayed faithful in the field — and at the proper time, God brought Boaz.
If you rush the process, you ruin the product.
Ruth teaches us:
• Choose relationships wisely.
• Enjoy the season you’re in.
• Keep intimacy in proper context.
• Look for green lights, don’t ignore red flags.
• Guard your heart.
• Let wise voices speak into your life.
Her waiting wasn’t just about a wedding — it was about destiny. Ruth became part of the lineage of King David, and ultimately, Jesus.
The story of Ruth and Boaz is a picture of Jesus — our Redeemer. He paid the price to redeem us, not because He had to, but because He loves us.
If you’re in a season of waiting, remember:
You’re not forgotten.
You’re being prepared.
