You're listening to the Dope Daily Audio Bible, and I'm your guy, pastor Charlie Mitchell, and today we're looking at Ruth chapter three. Let's roll Ruth's mother-in-law. Naomi said to her, my daughter, shouldn't I find rest for you so that you'll be taken care of. Now, isn't Boaz our relative? Haven't you been working with his female servants this evening? He will be winnowing barley on the threshing floor wash, put on perfume to oil and wear your best clothes, go down to the threshing floor, but don't let the man know you are there until he is finished eating and drinking. When he lies down, notice the place where he's lying. Go in and uncover his feet and lie down. Then he will explain to you what you should do. So Ruth said to her, I will do everything you say. She went down to the threshing floor and did everything her mother-in-law had charged her to do after Boaz ate, drank, and was in good spirits. He went to lie down at the end of the pile of barley, and she came secretly uncovered his feet and laid down at midnight, Boaz was startled, turned over, and their lying at his feet was a woman. So he asked, who are you? I'm Ruth, your servant. She replied, take me under your wing for you are a family redeemer. Then he said, may the Lord bless you, my daughter. You have shown more kindness now than before because you have not pursued younger men, whether rich or poor. Now, don't be afraid. My daughter, I will do for you, whatever you say. Since all the people in my town know that you are a woman of noble character. Yes, it is true that I'm a family redeemer, but there is a redeemer closer than I am. Stay here tonight and in the morning if he wants to redeem you. That's good. Let him redeem you. But if he doesn't want to redeem you as the Lord lives, I will Now lie down until morning. So she laid down at his feet until morning, but got up while it was still dark. Then Boaz said, don't let it be known that a woman came to the threshing floor, and he told Ruth, Bring the shawl you are wearing and hold it out. When she held it out, He shoveled six measures of barley into her shawl, and she went into the town she went to her mother-in-law, Naomi, who asked her what happened. My daughter, then Ruth told her everything the man had done for her. She said He gave me these six measures of barley because he said, don't go back to your mother-in-law empty handed, Naomi said. My daughter. Wait until you find out how things go for he won't rest unless he resolves this today. Let's pray. Dear Lord, you are a refuge for those who place their trust in you. When we step into uncertain times, give us the courage to act with humility and wisdom. I pray that you would teach us to move with integrity and the trust that you are actually working even when the outcome isn't clear. It. Cover us with your care and guide the relationships in our lives with kindness, honor, and patience. Help us to rest with confidence that you are faithful to bring about what is good in your due time. We pray all of this in Jesus' name. Amen.
