Ruth 2:8-9 "Then Boaz said to Ruth, "You will listen, my daughter, will you not? Do not go to glean in another field, nor go from here, but stay close by my young women. Let your eyes be on the field which they reap, and go after them. Have I not commanded the young men not to touch you? And when you are thirsty, go to the vessels and drink from what the young men have drawn."
Boaz spotted Ruth working in his fields and immediately sought her out to help her by inviting her to glean in his fields and in his alone. So the Lord sees us and knows exactly where we are and what our needs are. Nothing is hid from God. But this was not all that Boaz did for Ruth: he also promised to protect and provide for her (2:9). He informed her that he had instructed his men not to touch her and that she could drink water from the very jars provided for his workers. Remember Ruth was a Moabite, an enemy to the Jews, so people could have been very cruel to her. Just as Boaz promised to protect and provide for Ruth, so the Lord protects and provides for us. Thank you Lord Jesus for keeping me safe and for always meeting my needs according to your will and purpose for my life! May you rest my friend, knowing that our Lord, Jehovah Jireh will provide all your needs, He is our Strongtower, our Protector!
