Hope Through Gleaning

Ruth Chapter 2

Ruth took the initiative.

Ruth worked, God blessed her.

Ruth was willing to do whatever it took, even if her tasks were menial and difficult.

Ruth’s Admirable Character:

• Hard Worker
• Loving
• Kind
• Faithful
• Brave

What made Ruth special was her character was consistent.

Application

1. God may be waiting on us to take the initiative
2. Are we willing to do even the menial if that is what God is asking?
3. Consistent good character will win us favor in relationships.
4. Doing the minimum to help others is not good enough.

Main Point: God is working for the good of those who love him. (Rom. 8:28)
