The Story of Risky Faith

• Naomi's Plan:
  • Knew there was chemistry with Boaz
  • Knew Boaz was righteous
• Ruth's Courageous Execution:
  • Risky to go to the threshing floor
• Boaz"s Manly Response:
  • Praises her character
  • Follow principles

Relevant Observations of Exceptional Living

• From Naomi's life: An exceptional faith will move when you see God moving.
• From Ruth's life: An exceptional life will require moments of great personal risk.
• From Boaz's life: An exceptional masculinity loves righteousness above all.
  • Every man needs a mission above all else, even his wife.
