14 For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
Over the past few weeks, I have come to observe a pattern in the thoughts that God has prepared for us and shared in our hearing.
2 Weeks Ago - Hosea’s Illustrated Sermon. Where God recommitted to his people even though His People, were the Ones who strayed. He essentially told them that by the time you’re see everything that I plan to do for you…You Going to Confess....That I’m Your God. You’re going to let the World know....He’s My God!
Last week…Ruth’s Story…She is a women who is the model to the Church.
She was a Gentile from Moab…Living in a Jewish Environment in Bethlehem of Judea. There is a thread or theme that
She was Introduced to Naomi God
She Submitted Her Will to the Will of God
Foreigner - Stranger
10 Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?
Less Than a Slave
13 Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens.
I’m You’re Slave Girl
9 And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.
Wifey
13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the Lord gave her conception, and she bare a son.
Everyone Did what is right in his eyes
Elimeleck - “God is King”
Boaz was used to being connected to people with questionable past....
Ruth was David’s “Great-Grandmother”
Several Generations later…There was another little boy Born in a Manger…in Bethlehem of Judea
She Lowered herself.... To the position of a Servant.
I’m Going to Serve You “For the Rest of My Life!!!
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
The Church at WORKMANSHIP - God want to Get Glory in Church
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
I know this world
God Can Move In the Midst of Dark Situations
See and Intervene
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Jesus - Disciples where on the boat in the middle of the ocean…It was the 4th Watch of the Night
Jesus Said It is I…YOu don’t have to be afraid
You have Jesus.....WHo commissioned us to be the Light of the World!!
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
When the Night is the Darkest....The Light Shines the Bringetest!!

Trust in God…Means being at peace and Giving him permission to Determine to Outcome
Make Decisions that will honor God’s PLan…no matter what the circumstances
