I ask God a lot of questions, sometimes not as humble as I ought to. Psalm 99:1 says, “The Lord reigns; let the peoples tremble! He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake!” This verse checks me in the way that I ask questions of God. Verses like this help me to stay in place. It helps me come to God with the right attitude of humility.
We in our self-help culture have somehow come live and worship as though God owes of something. Many come to God with a sense of entitlement or with a pointing finger. I think we could use a reminder that we are to come to our redeemer with humility. The world needs us to tell our story of how to appropriately come to Jesus. The world needs you to tell you story of coming to our Redeemer in humility. This is how Ruth exemplified this:
1. Show the way of rest and security in the Redeemer. 3:1-2
2. Teach the way in which one is to come to the redeemer. 3-5
What Ruth was saying to Boaz was, “I respect you, I trust you, and I put my
fate in your hands.” - David Guzik
3. Display the way of finding protection V.6-9
In Ezekiel 16:8, God uses the same terminology in relation to Israel: I
spread my wing over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I swore an oath to
you and entered into a covenant with you and you became Mine, says the LORD
God."
4. Model that needs are met by going in the right direction. V. 10-11
5. Reveal that our redeemer follows the law of God in redemption 12-18.
