Here are some notes I took:
October 5th, 2014
The Kinsman Redeemer
Ruth 3
Boaz - a picture of Jesus Christ
*God gives us the only security possible and that comes through the only person qualified...Jesus.
*HOPE - great remedy for despair
Ruth - acts out of a covenant and gracious love; female equivalent of Boaz.
Ruth and Boaz are partly attracted because of their love of God.
God provides for his people through the Kinsman Redeemer Jesus Christ.
*Be the kind of godly person you would want to marry.
Boaz withstood temptation at the threshing floor - Boaz protected Ruth and was willing to wait and not take advantage of her in what was a very vulnerable situation for Ruth.
It was really neat for me to see the parallel of Jesus and Boaz. Jesus was sent to earth to redeem us, and Boaz was sent to Ruth to redeem Ruth and marry her after she became widowed. God always provides for us and sometimes it is in very unique ways. He knows the
desires of each of our hearts and yet He allows certain things to happen to us that sometimes we don't always understand. I am so thankful I serve a God who does understand me and that I can turn to Him at all times!!
After church I met up with Andja and got some lunch with her. I then came back on the metro and have been relaxing at my apartment this afternoon and will this evening too. So thankful for some down time after going and going for the past week or so. I was also able to FaceTime my fiancé which was a huge blessing!! Here is to a new week ahead!
We got to Edirne and play in a 3 game tournament later this week. God bless :)
