Pray this Lazaroo in appreciative wonder:

“May I continue to find favor in your eyes, my lord,” she said. “You have put me at ease by speaking kindly to your servant—though I do not have the standing of one of your servants.”
(Ruth 2:13)

Hope. Gratitude. Humility.

No wonder You chose this woman
to be Your great-great-many times removed grandmother, Jesus!

She wasn’t even a Jew.

She was one of the hated Moabites!

No matter.

You chose her!

Just as You have chosen me.

Pray this Lazaroo in head-shaking amazement:

Why have I found such favor in your eyes…?”
(Ruth 2:10)

How refreshing is that, Jesus?

In this day of people pounding their chests, swaggering –

I’m so used to hearing:

“It’s about time!”
“I’m the best there is!”
“Check me out!”

But here’s Ruth, so unassuming

that when someone does something nice for her
she’s stunned, not comprehending –

the exact opposite of an attitude of entitlement.

No wonder You selected her to become

one of Your many-times-removed great grandmothers.
