Meditate On
So she lay at his feet until morning and rose
before one could recognize another…Again he said, “Give me the cloak that is on
you and hold it.” So she held it, and he measured six measures of barley and
laid it on her. Then she went into the city.
Ruth 3:14–15, NASB
Rest
Yields Far More Results
When Ruth worked from morning to evening in
the field of Boaz, a wealthy relative, she collected only one measure of
barley. That’s about 10 days’ supply. But when she simply rested overnight at
his feet, he gave her six measures of barley—about two months’ supply!
Boaz, Ruth’s kinsman redeemer, is a picture
of Jesus our Redeemer, whom we are to rest in. This rest refers to an inner
posture of trust and quiet confidence in Jesus’ finished work and in His
ability to give you increase and good success as you go about doing what you
need to do. Rest is not sitting around doing nothing and waiting for His
blessings to fall into our laps.
Beloved, what God doesn’t want you to do is
worry and do things out of fear. He wants you to rest at Jesus’ feet and listen
to His words of love and life. Let Him drive out your fears and lead you to
good success!
