WHEN YOU FOLLOW; YOU WILL BE MADE

24 Oct

“So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son. And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.” Ruth 4:13-14 (KJV)

The Lord gave Ruth conception. Oh yes! Ruth will always conceive and give birth to new things. Ruth is the type of believer that is ready to carry the cross and follow Jesus. Every one of us has a cross. And when you come to a crossroads, follow Jesus! You may not understand everything but keep following Jesus. Embrace the attitude of Ruth.

“And Ruth said, … whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.”(Ruth 1:16-17 KJV). There is no way anyone will follow Christ in this manner without being settled.

The Psalmist declared: “Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: For the end of that man is peace.” (Psalm 37:37 KJV). You will end peacefully!

Ruth followed Naomi tenaciously and she was made. She was not only settled, but she also broke into the lineage of Christ. “and Salmon begat Booz of Rachab, and Booz begat Obed of Ruth, and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;” (Matthew 1:5-6 KJV)

You cannot write anyone off who has chosen to follow the Lord tenaciously. Ruth followed, and she was made. When you follow diligently, you will be made. I encourage you today to continue to follow Jesus. Don’t give up in the face of challenges. There is always a season of reward and divine settlement.

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” (Galatians 6:9 KJV)
