I'm learning to trust God.
Recently God has been stripping me of things that I held quite dear. I know its for my ultimate good and for His glory. I find that as I seek Him in prayer I'm taking it in stride. My heart feels at peace and at rest in my maker.
I was thinking about Ruth today. How she ended up in the field of Boaz, the very one who could redeem her from her desolation, become her provider and give her life. Without a redeemer Ruth and her mother-in-law probably would have died, but out of nowhere Boaz shows up. God provides.
Ever wanted to take the reigns yourself and make things happen, because I mean how is God suppose to make something happen if in your mind it seems impossible? Well, I'm sure thats how Ruth and Naomi felt as well, yet God shows up, in His perfect timing to bring a man into their lives who would redeem them and pursue them.
It's a wonderful picture of the gospel. We are desolate, dead in our sins and in need of redemption. God sends Jesus who pursues us and adopts us into His family if we would call out to Him to redeem us by His perfect work on the cross in dying for our sins. He, just like Boaz rescued Ruth, rescues us, hallelujah!
This gives me hope that no matter how long my waiting, God can drop any provision in from out of nowhere tomorrow if He wanted to. I need not worry about what tomorrow holds, but I trust Him for today.
