Faithful & Fearless: Lesson 2/Day 6 - Is it just me, or is it hard for you also to make the connections from the ancient ways and cultures to life today? Just me? Ok. Reading through Ruth brings me to a different life and I find myself put off by the ways things like courtship were done. Washing up, anointing yourself, then laying at the feet of the guy you’re interested in – who also happens to be your former husband’s relative aaaaaand your sort of boss? But then.

Faithful & Fearless: Lesson 2/Day 6 - Is it just me, or is it hard for you also to make the connections from the ancient ways and cultures to life today? Just me? Ok. Reading through Ruth brings me to a different life and I find myself put off by the ways things like courtship were done. Washing up, anointing yourself, then laying at the feet of the guy you’re interested in – who also happens to be your former husband’s relative aaaaaand your sort of boss? But then. Then I think how all the accounts that have been included in the Word of God over a period of 3,000 years like crossing the Red Sea, God appearing in fire, the earth swallowing up people – fish swallowing too! – feeding 5,000 people with some left-over bread and dried fish, healings, resurrections, the sun standing still...and here we are in this account – Ruth, an insignificant outcast laying at the feet of a man who will end up being her husband and this story is included in the testaments of Scripture? Wow. That fact – that this life was included along with the great men and women of renown and the astounding miracles across the span of time – that 85 little verses in the count of over 23,000 verses recorded from Genesis to Revelation are recorded for me – for all of us - makes me stop and get over myself and my difficulty in grasping a couple of cultural oddities. God made sure this life and all its details were recorded. Ok. I get it, God. I’ll read and pray and thank you. Thank you that, in your sovereignty, you made sure that this account would never be forgotten. I’ll pray and thank you for seeing after the big, crazy miracles and the small, tender ones. Thank you for seeing after every detail in my life too.
Be sure to join me for the next day in our “Faithful and Fearless” lesson!
