S.O.A.P. Ruth 4

I know I took at 2 day break...but I have finished the book of Ruth.

There is a lot of old customs in this book that made it difficult for me to understand but in the last chapter Boaz saves Ruths land and marries her. They Produce a son named Obed

Boaz & Ruth are the Great Grandparents to David

Scripture
Ruth 4: 5
Then Boaz said, “On the day you buy the land from Naomi, you also acquire Ruth the Moabite, the^[a] dead man’s widow, in order to maintain the name of the dead with his property.”

Observation

In the book before Boaz told Ruth that if the Kinsman met, if they did not redeem the land it would fall to him and he would. Now the Kinsman did want to redeem the land but in the above statement it seems that he is talking them out of the land because he didn't think they would actually buy it and he wanted Ruth for him self. I may be wrong.

Application
Gods will, will always prevail

Prayer

Lord,

I thank you for this beautiful Sunday afternoon to spend with my family. I pray that your will be done in our lives. Forgive us for our sins and help us forgive those that have sinned against us.

Amen

Ps. Lord...be with Sandy and Ann
