Ruth 3:11 “And now, my daughter, do not fear. I will do for you all that you request, for all the people of my town know that you are a virtuous woman.”
As one moves through the beautiful story of Ruth one comes to chapter 3 to find that Ruth is made aware by her mother-in-law Naomi that Boaz is a close relative of Naomi’s deceased husband. Naomi instructs Ruth to inform him and request that he consider being her kinsmen redeemer. Ruth 3:11 is his response to her request and while the response of yes is what is most important to the story, his reasoning is what is most important to this devotion. Boaz tells her that he will do all that is requested of him for all the people of my town know that you are a virtuous woman!”
How are you known around town? What is the first thought someone has upon hearing your name or upon seeing your face as you enter a room? How are you known? What is your reputation? What is your testimony?
3 John 1:12 we have another great example of a good testimony.
“Demetrius has received a good testimony from everyone,”
A March to Remember
For March 11, let us remember Luke 2:11. Luke 2:11 says, “For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”
There is no Easter without there being a Christmas. Christmas has no meaning unless there is an Easter. Christ was born to be our SAVIOR! To be our Savior, He had to be our substitute, and at Calvary, He died for us, and then three days later, He arose from the dead. What a Savior!
On March 11 we encourage you to read Matthew 11 and John 11 to recall our Lord’s work and who He is. You can find the Bible reading plan on the Date the Word app.
Continue Strong this March Remembering our Savior,
And remember to DATE the Word
