Day 3 Invited to the Table
Ruth 2:14 At lunchtime Boaz called her,"Come over here and help yourself to some of our food. You can dip your bread in our wine if you like." So she sat with his harvesters and Boaz gave her food- more than she could eat.
This was huge because Ruth was just a servant. Back then people with power didn't mingle with the lower people. Once again Boaz went out of his way for Ruth. He saw past her status and saw her for who she was.
Kelly refered to Revelations 19:6-10. This verse talks about the big feast for us believers in the new heaven. There are similarties between these two verses. Ruth nor us were/are worthy of sitting at such a wonderful and awesome table, but like Boaz, God sees us for what we are worth. He has forgiven us and accepted us as His own. He will bring us to His table dressed in our finest so we can worship. How humbling is that? It still amazes me that God has chosen me and has given me such a wonderful gift. Its so hard for me to understand why people don't accept His love and forgiveness. I can't imagine going through life especially the hard times without knowing the hope and promises I have in Him.
Lord, thankyou for loving me and allowing me to be part of your family. I look forward to that day in Heaven when I'm with YOU and ALL believers as we sit at Your table, feast and worship you!
