We end chapter three with Naomi advising Ruth to sit still and wait to see how everything plays out.
Ruth 3:18 “Then she said, "Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter will turn out; for the man will not rest until he has concluded the matter this day." (NKJV) Sometimes this is the hardest part. We live in a fast-paced society where we want everything done right now, we don’t want to wait. We want answered prayers immediately. We want to see results. But God has His timing and we need to remember to be patient and wait. Psalm 46:10 “Be still and know that I am God” is one of my favorite verses. It has gotten me through a lot of tough situations. When I feel as though things are out of control I tell myself Be still and know that God is in Control.
My friend, Ruth and Naomi put their trust in the Lord and God was working behind the scene to bless them. We need to remember that God is working behind the scene to bless us also. Is there something going on in your life that you are waiting on an answer? Are you trusting the Lord to work things out according to His will in your life? One evidence of your trust is your willingness to sit still and wait on the Lord.
