Scripture:
“Then Naomi said to her, “Just be patient, my daughter, until we hear what happens. The man won’t rest until he has settled things today.”” Ruth 3:18 NLT
Observation:
Ruth was very obedient to Naomi and did everything exactly as she was told by her mother in law. The plan had one possible glitch, which Ruth was worried about. She may have to marry another man instead of Boaz because he was a closer match as kinsman redeemer for their family. Naomi gave her great advice, “Just be patient, my daughter, until we hear what happens.” In other words, “worrying won’t fix anything. Don’t worry about what hasn’t happened yet.” God can still turn this thing around.
Application:
Jesus told us not to worry about tomorrow because tomorrow will have its own worries. As believers, part of trusting God is learning to do what you can do today and trust God with tomorrow. Some things we have no control over, these things we must learn to be patient and trust that God will turn things around for His glory and our good.
Prayer:
Father, help me not to worry about tomorrow, but trust You at greater levels in my life. Show me each step to take and then help me to trust You and be patient while the details get worked out. I want to serve You well and to trust You more.
Forever Yours,
Jeff
