2024, Ruth

Got Bread?

They left the House of Bread because there was no bread.  

Book of Ruth

Bethlehem means House of Bread.
How appropriate as the BREAD of Life John 6:35 Bread of Life. would be born in Bethlehem numerous generations after Naomi returned home with her daughter-in-law Ruth. 
People purported to be more learned than I say Naomi left Bethlehem for Moab in 1294 BC.  And that she returned along with Ruth in 1284 BC.  (source)
That’s numerous generations before Joseph and Mary journeyed to Bethlehem for the census, making sure the prophecy would be fulfilled. Yeshua was born in Bethlehem. 

I hope you are encouraged today to know ALL the prophecies of GOD come to be, always have, and always will.  

Boaz. 
Their Kinsman Redeemer. A man of honor.  Read a portion of what he said to Ruth that day she came to his field. 

11 Boaz replied, “I have been made fully aware of all you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, how you left your father and mother and the land of your birth, and how you came to a people you did not know before. 12 May the LORD repay your work, and may you receive a rich reward from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have taken refuge.”  source 

I see him as a gentle, thoughtful, resourceful man; not prone to rash decisions, but rather one who investigates matters thoroughly and then takes action. 
Do you see that about him in these verses?

2024, Judges, Will you pray with me?

Cut-Off

Leave a comment

I made it to Ruth — for tomorrow! 

Judges ended this way: 25 In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.

Judges 19 was a hard chapter to read. We have had such heinous happenings in America. 
Wednesday’s post defined sin as evil; Judges 19 fleshes it out for us. 

I did see some hope in Judges, chapter 21:  6 And the Israelites grieved for their brothers, the Benjamites, and said, “Today a tribe is cut off from Israel. 
I think their grieving was that without intervention the tribe of Benjamin would cease, would be no more. They would be 11 tribes, not 12. 
I wanted it to be ‘spiritual’ and I want to pursue it that way. 
I want us to see that people are cut off from GOD and care enough to pursue them with The Gospel.  I want us to pray and take action as directed by HOLY SPIRIT to proclaim the GOOD NEWS to them.  I’m concerned about our lack of grieving the Lost, the Cut-Off people of this world.
I am urgently mindful that people are dying without getting off their road to destruction and yet I am painfully aware it is easy to get distracted and occupied with day-to-day living matters. We need to change in JESUS’ name. 
Prayer is the first step.

Forty Years

1 Comment

I don’t think a majority of people (especially here in America) are afraid to do evil.
But we should be, don’t you think?
Don’t you think we should be afraid to sin against GOD?
Shouldn’t we fear the consequences of doing evil?

1 Again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD, so He delivered them into the hand of the Philistines for forty years.  source Judges 13

Forty years.
For forty years the Israelites were slaves to the Philistines. Why? Because they did evil in the sight of the LORD.

What is evil?
The simple answer — sin.

Romans 6:23“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”  (KJV)

James 4:4“Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.”   (KJV)

Adultery.  Just one of the evils men/women practice. Are they afraid?
They should be.
What else is evil?

Mark 7: 20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.  21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,  22 Thefts,  covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.  (KJV)

Are we getting the picture?
ALL sin is evil and we should be deathly afraid of committing evil against the LORD GOD.  And yet unregenerate men and women cannot help themselves – You see we are not sinners because we sin, we sin because we are sinners.

Have we listed all the evils mankind commits?
Not even close.

So now what?
Back to Romans 6:23“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”  (KJV)

It’s a fine place to start.

Isaiah 55:6 “Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:” (KJV)

Is HE near you?
Do you sense you need a Savior?
Then agree with Him and believe Him now, while you can.
