Ruth 3:1-4:22

What God said to me – I chose you.  I called you and you heard My voice.  You belong to Me.  I have a plan for you that I will work out no matter how impossible you may think it is.  My job is to carry out the plan  . . . your job is to walk with Me and allow Me to transform you.  As you do that your noble character will shine through.  You won’t need to convince people or pretend to be something you are not.  It will be evident that you belong to Me.  Be kind.  Do what is right.  Stay close to Me and allow Me to do the rest.  I will glorify Myself in you.

Ruth 1:1-2:23

What God said to me – I have richly blessed you for you are My child.  I redeemed you at a great price.  You are valuable to Me.  I did not hesitate.  I was anxious to be your kinsman redeemer so we could begin this lifelong conversation and eternal fellowship.  Come and take refuge under My wings.  I will love you and provide for you and protect you.  Stay close to Me for there is safety.  Let Me teach you all that I have planned for you.  Walk with Me.  Fellowship with Me.

Judges 17:1-21:25

What God said to me – I know you don’t always understand as you read in My word how people so easily fell away from Me and acted in such a vile manner.  But know that there are depths of the human heart, your own heart, that you will never understand.  That is why you must stay close to Me.  It is so easy to slip away and begin to do as you see fit rather than seeking My will.  This time spent with Me is not only precious, it is important and necessary to bind your heart to Mine.  Stay close.  Don’t neglect this time.  Allow Me to plumb the depths of your heart and cleanse you so you’ll never wander.
