Faithful & Fearless: Lesson 3/Day 5 Ruth 4:1-13

Faithful & Fearless: Lesson 3/Day 4 Ruth 4

We in the West don’t have a tradition of speaking blessings over people, but this is more common in eastern cultures. What’s interesting is that embedded in our culture is the idea of blessing. What do you say when you or someone else is leaving? “Goodbye” is actually a contraction of “God” + “Bless You.”

What do you say when someone sneezes?  “God bless you.” Yet in ancient Israel, blessings were a significant and meaningful part of the culture and not just a toss-away thing to say in passing; it conveyed intent and expectation. The blessings spoken over Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz were not only rooted in thankfulness for who these three were, they were expressions of faith in the character of God and who God would continue to be in their lives.
