Devotion:
Read Ruth 2:1-12.
When the wheat and barley were ready to be harvested, harvesters were hired to cut down the stalks and tie them into bundles. The law in Israel demanded that the corners of the fields not be harvested, and the grain that was dropped was to be left for the poor. Because Ruth was a widow with no way to provide for herself, she went to work in the fields to glean the grain. She took the initiative to work and didn’t wait for others to provide for her. Ruth was not afraid of working hard and believed God was her provider. Ruth was a hard worker who took an active part in solving her problems and did so with bravery, faithfulness, and kindness. God wants to provide for us, but he also wants us to take the initiative in solving our problems. He wants us to be faithful workers in whatever jobs he calls us to do.
Personal Worship Option:
Are you known as a willing worker? What kind of reputation do you have when it comes to work? Pray today that you will demonstrate initiative and a good attitude in the work you do today.
