Naomi

Pastor Daniel from Georgia
Message to the workers of church

Ruth 2:11-14

New International Version (NIV)

 ¹¹ Boaz replied, “I’ve been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband—how you left your father and mother and your homeland and came to live with a people you did not know before. ¹² May the LORD repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”
 ¹³ “May I continue to find favor in your eyes, my lord,” she said. “You have put me at ease by speaking kindly to your servant—though I do not have the standing of one of your servants.”
 ¹⁴ At mealtime Boaz said to her, “Come over here. Have some bread and dip it in the wine vinegar.”
   When she sat down with the harvesters, he offered her some roasted grain. She ate all she wanted and had some left over.

Stepping down in a journey of faith. 
Leaving making sacrfices and landed in the place where God destined you to be.
Faith mentality. "Commitment of Naomi"


Serving God requires a commitment!


Background of the book ruth...
Naomi: Pleasant
Mara: God has been bitter
From empty and transformed to something full.
"Let me go now into the field and glean" -Naomi


Attitude of a worker of God self-motivated to look for the harvest. The harvest is plenty but the workers are few things, given by Boaz to Naomi.
1. Place of service
2. Protection
3. Provision
4. Promotion under god's <- ruth became an insider when she proposed to boaz care, concern protection and provision from the family.


God will not send you away empty.
Going home with seeds was symbolic for she was the great Grandmother of Jesus!


Blessings!
