Your Will be Done

Enjoyed the book of Ruth
as I was preparing for bed.

I think

it exemplifies

living God's will for our lives

The heart's Desire:

Ruth replied,

"Don't urge me to leave you or turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God."

Confirmation and Peace

She exclaimed,

"Why have I found such favor in your eyes that you notice me--

a foreigner?"

"You have given me comfort and have spoken kindly to your servant."

The Will of God

for ALL mankind

the bigger picture Ruth was a part of

"Naomi took the child, laid him in her lap

and cared for him.

The women living there said, "Naiomi has a son"

And they named him Obed.

He was the father of Jesse, the father of David."

The line of Jesus.

I know the desire of my heart the Lord fills:

to live in a foreign land

I feel the confirmation and peace

in my heart of hearts

in words spoken by friends

new and old

I wait in anticipation

to see the bigger picture

Why am I here? For whom?

And what purpose?

Only time will tell
