“Then Boaz said to Ruth, ‘You will listen, my daughter, will you not? Do not go to glean in another field, nor go from here, but stay close by my young women’.” Ruth 2:8
“Let your eyes be on the field which they reap, and go after them. Have I not commanded the young men not to touch you? And when you are thirsty, go to the vessels and drink from what the young men have drawn.” Ruth 2:9
Ruth was willing to listen. Am I?
Oh Lord, may I be willing to glean where, and what, and when You ask me to. And here’s a simple poem . . .
This Field
Stay in this field
the one for you I’ve chosen
close by my servants
as the harvest unfolds.
Have I not commanded
my protection over you?
Keep your eyes here now
embrace all I do.
