“Your Christianity can infuse your regular life like this. Your work life. Your school life. If you’re a boss, be a boss like Boaz. If you’re an employee, be like one of these harvesters. Realize that God is with you not only in your desk work, but that He is working His harvest through your desk.
But that will require faith. You see, Boaz was a farmer. Bethlehem had just been through a terrible famine. Facing difficulty, Elimelech cut and run. He gave up on God and looked to the world’s fields.
Meanwhile, Boaz stayed where God had called him. He kept planting. He kept looking after his workers. He didn’t look out only for himself. Those would’ve been hard years, but look at what a difference his faith made, for him, for his workers, for their families, and for Ruth and her family and ultimately for our families, who benefit from Boaz’s willingness to trust the Lord.”
