I - It’s Just...
It’s JUST english class
It’s JUST high school
It’s JUST My parents
It’s JUST north park
It’s JUST Ellsworth
It’s JUST today
“Oh ill do this when...”
Other: When I had my frist ministry treated it like a class.
I was afraid that my work would have consequences.
I was Just there a year and my goal was to not screw anything up.
I was paralyzed by the thought that I might screw up.
Until half way through the year I got a preformance review that just wrecked me. it was bad.
So bad I wanted to quit the internship then and there.
So bad I seriously considered finding a differnt carrear.
Until a week later my boss took me out for my brithday and we talked about it more.
In that conversation he encouraged me to go for it.
Hetold me I had to quit worrying so much about making mistakes and instead focus on following God now.
It totatally changed how I saw my role that year
Instead of not acting to not screw up I took risks and follow God faithfully.
I made tons of mistakes, but I had tons of succeses too.
My boss and mentor’s small gesture of taking me out to talk about it made all the diffrence.
Had he not I may not be in ministry today.
The last time I told you all this story
The last time I told that story I ended it there, marveling at how God worked in that situatoin, but after church that Sunday Erin told me something.
She told me that she called my boss after seeing how devestaed I was by that review.
She told him that he better give me a call and have a conversation with me about it again.
That it had thrown me for a loop.
At first I thought that ruined the story.
Oh it wasnt a god thing it was just a wife thing you know.
But after reading ruth its clear that that is just how God works....
Y
Its just a job
they are just a friend
its just my parents
Does my life really matter?
that is really what we are asking.
What matters
G - Ordinary Times, People, Places, Faith, and ACTIONS have Extraordinary Consequence.
Today counts, Your actions today have compounding interest.
WAKE UP STOP SLEEPING THROUGH YOUR LIFE.
(Your every day ordinairy life counts for FAR more than you realize.)

Boaz Plans
Holding court at the City Gate
3 Then he said to the guardian-redeemer, “Naomi, who has come back from Moab, is selling the piece of land that belonged to our relative Elimelek.
4 I thought I should bring the matter to your attention and suggest that you buy it in the presence of these seated here and in the presence of the elders of my people.
If you will redeem it, do so.
But if you will not, tell me, so I will know.
For no one has the right to do it except you, and I am next in line.”
Th
“I will redeem it,” he said.
5 Then Boaz said, “On the day you buy the land from Naomi, you also acquire Ruth the Moabite, the dead man’s widow, in order to maintain the name of the dead with his property.”
9 Then Boaz announced to the elders and all the people, “Today you are witnesses that I have bought from Naomi all the property of Elimelek, Kilion and Mahlon.
10 I have also acquired Ruth the Moabite, Mahlon’s widow, as my wife, in order to maintain the name of the dead with his property, so that his name will not disappear from among his family or from his hometown.
Today you are witnesses!”
The Men Bless
11 Then the elders and all the people at the gate said, “We are witnesses.
May the LORD make the woman who is coming into your home like Rachel and Leah, who together built up the family of Israel.
May you have standing in Ephrathah and be famous in Bethlehem.
12 Through the offspring the LORD gives you by this young woman, may your family be like that of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah.”
If the story is about Boaz being rewarded for being a good person an saving the day it ends here.
but it doesn't.
A child is born
To Ruth and Boaz, but the story says its not about Ruth and Boaz, they vanish from the story after the birth.
13 So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife.
When he made love to her, the LORD enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son.
If it’s a Rom-Com it ends with the wedding.
But perhaps if this story is about Ruth .
If its about Ruth being a good person and being rewarded by finding a husband and a son, it ends here.
The book is called Ruth after all.
but it doesn't end there.
The story continues.
The Women Bless
14 The women said to Naomi: “Praise be to the LORD, who this day has not left you without a guardian-redeemer.
May he become famous throughout Israel! 15 He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age.
For your daughter-in-law, who loves you and who is better to you than seven sons, has given him birth.”
16 Then Naomi took the child in her arms and cared for him.
17 The women living there said, “Naomi has a son!”
And they named him Obed.
He was the father of Jesse, the father of David.
If the story is about Naomi it ends here.
The women say she is restored.
Obed becomes like a son to Naomi
The woman who had and lost everything is not blessed and restored.
This is where most of us stop reading the story.
And if we do we find its a story all about God not forgetting about Naomi and restoring to her what she lost.
Perhaps it reminds us that though we might lose things God hasnt forgotten about us,
But of course the story doesn't end here either.
We don’t usually read the next bit because its a little confusing, boring, and the names are hard to say, but here it is
The genealogy
the most least interesting part of Ruth.
18 This, then, is the family line of Perez:
Perez was the father of Hezron,
19 Hezron the father of Ram,
Ram the father of Amminadab,
20 Amminadab the father of Nahshon,
Nahshon the father of Salmon,
21 Salmon the father of Boaz,
Boaz the father of Obed,
