Pray this Lazaroo in absolute awe:

“And now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do for you all you ask.”
(Ruth 3:11)

Most of the people in this world have never heard such words, Jesus.

Ruth wouldn’t have heard them either
if You had not put them in Boaz’s mouth.

It was Your Will to bring the two of them together

to become Your ancestors through David

all the way down to Your birth in Bethlehem.

There is no one like You.

Not even close.

Pray this Lazaroo in gratitude and awe:

“When Boaz had finished eating and drinking and was in good spirits, he went over to lie down at the far end of the grain pile.”
(Ruth 3:7)

If Boaz thought he was in good spirits then, Jesus

You were about to take him to a whole ‘nuther level!

He was about to get a new wife and a new life.

Moreover, You were adding him to the bloodline
from which You would one day be born –

and by Your blood shed on the cross
I’ve been born again!

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Now Boaz, with whose women you have worked, is a relative of ours. Tonight he will be winnowing barley on the threshing floor. Wash, put on perfume, and get dressed in your best clothes. Then go down to the threshing floor, but don’t let him know you are there until he has finished eating and drinking.”
(Ruth 3:2-3)

Naomi had it all planned out for her widowed daughter-in-law, Jesus.

It worked.
Boaz and Ruth became husband and wife.

But never let me forget:

It works
only when You work it.

Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“…Ruth stayed close to the women of Boaz to glean until the barley and wheat harvests were finished. And she lived with her mother-in-law.”
(Ruth 2:23)

This wasn’t the life Ruth thought You were going to give her, Jesus

but trusting You, she embraced it anyway –

and oh, the reward that was finally hers!

Help me follow her example

believing with everything in me that in Your way and time

every promise You’ve made to me
will come true.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Her mother-in-law asked her, ‘Where did you glean today? Where did you work? Blessed be the man who took notice of you! Then Ruth told her mother-in-law about the one at whose place she had been working. ‘The name of the man I worked with today is Boaz,’ she said. ‘The Lord bless him!’ Naomi said to her daughter-in-law.”
(Ruth 2:19-20)

Totally orchestrated by You, Jesus –

ancestors of Mary and Joseph…

and You!

Gotta love Grandpa Boaz and Grandma Ruth!

Pray this Lazaroo in triumphant gratitude:

“He made interwoven chains and put them on top of the pillars. He also made a hundred pomegranates and attached them to the chains. He erected the pillars in the front of the temple, one to the south and one to the north. The one to the south he named Jakin and the one to the north Boaz.”
(2 Chronicles 3:16-17)

Yes, Jesus!

Jakin: “He establishes.”
Boaz: “In Him is strength.”

Everything that lasts has been established by You.

In You…is my strength!

Pray this Lazaroo with a melting heart:

“As she got up to glean, Boaz gave orders to his men, ‘Let her gather among the sheaves and don’t reprimand her. Even pull out some stalks for her from the bundles and leave them for her to pick up, and don’t rebuke her.’”
(Ruth 2:15-16)

Boaz was so deeply touched by Ruth’s loyalty and character, Jesus

…that he responded with some deeply touching words of his own.

May I so live

…that others will be inspired by what I say and do!

(Ruth 2:14)

Oh, Your incredible generosity, Jesus!

Please help me remember

all the times You’ve given me what I’ve needed
with some left over.

Then show me the best way to share my leftovers

with those who don’t have enough.

Friday, August 14, 2020

 

Pray this Lazaroo from the grateful depths of your soul:

“May the LORD repay you for what you have done.”
(Ruth 2:12)

That statement is a double-edged sword, isn’t it, Jesus?

Boaz meant it as a blessing – and it was!
You did, in fact, repay Ruth’s beautiful spirit toward her mother-in-law.

But when I’ve sinned, that’s the last thing I want to hear!

I don’t want to be repaid for the wrong I’ve done.

I want forgiveness!

Let me rephrase that:

I need forgiveness!

And that’s what You purchased for me on the cross.

Pray this Lazaroo in total allegiance:

“…what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband…”
(Ruth 2:11)

Boaz nailed it, Jesus.

It wasn’t what Ruth did for her mother-in-law while her husband lived.
That could have been out of love for her husband.

It was what she did for her mother-in-law after her husband died.
That was what demonstrated her love for her mother-in law.

Show me how to love others with Your love – for Your sake.

No other incentive needed.
