What destiny do we sometimes miss out on because we are not willing to "go to the gates" to conduct business? I love how Boaz took that risk and did things the right way!Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00308230849140462624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252377263602187066.post-32255765585646129352009-03-09T22:40:00.000-05:002009-03-09T22:40:00.000-05:00Just stopping by to wish you a week filled with bl...Just stopping by to wish you a week filled with blessings!<BR/><BR/>~Mrs.CuddlesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252377263602187066.post-73771641103429961992009-03-09T19:30:00.000-05:002009-03-09T19:30:00.000-05:00This caught my attention and it really brought up ...This caught my attention and it really brought up a lot of what if? questions just realizing how much Boaz was willing to take a chance when Ruth proposed to him.<BR/><BR/>It really brings up a lot of question as you had pointed out...are we willing to take a huge risk to follow God's calling or do we prefer things nice and package and small?<BR/><BR/>In today's time and places, it seems that there is often a sense of fear to just step out in faith and trust God sometimes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252377263602187066.post-85342416067087612732009-03-09T16:33:00.000-05:002009-03-09T16:33:00.000-05:00Awesome questions at the end, Melanie.

The guy goes out on a limb and risks it all, so to speak. It does make me wonder how I do things for the ones I love as well... maybe we all need to take a hint from Boaz, and from Ruth.<BR/><BR/>I love the point you make about Ruth being the direct lineage of David and of Jesus. I remember reading that years ago and thinking how marvelous it was that God used this woman who wasn't even of His people originally to be directly linked to Jesus! It's incredible!Sabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06366504500666420418noreply@blogger.com
