Week 12 - Day 3


Ruth 1-4; Psalm 66

*Click here to read these passages:

What a refreshing change from the book of Judges!  The book of Ruth takes place during the time of the judges, which we know was a very dark time.  But here is a story full of light and noble character, and love ~ The love between Naomi and Ruth, the love between Ruth and Boaz, the love of Jesus that is foreshadowed in this story. 

I’m keeping my reflection brief today in hopes that you’ll read through some wonderful reflections on the book of Ruth from a wonderful woman of God who has a great love for God’s word, Karen Kizlin.  She explains how “Boaz’ redeeming love shows us the love of Jesus.”  You can find them here: Exploring the Book of Ruth with Karen.

Since we are reading through the Bible in a year, the book of Ruth is easily read in one day, but I encourage you to take time to think about the deeper meanings found in this little gem of a book.
