“She gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.” — Ruth 2:3
Her hap was. Yes, it seemed nothing but an accident, but how divinely was it overruled! Ruth had gone forth with her mother’s blessing, under the care of her mother’s God, to humble but honourable toil, and the providence of God was guiding her every step. Little did she know that amid the sheaves she would find a husband, that he should make her the joint owner of all those broad acres, and that she a poor foreigner should become one of the progenitors of the great Messiah. God is very good to those who trust in Him, and often surprises them with unlooked for blessings. Little do we know what may happen to us to-morrow, but this sweet fact may cheer us, that no good thing shall be withheld. Chance is banished from the faith of Christians, for they see the…
hand of God in
everything. The trivial events of to-day or to-morrow may involve
consequences of the highest importance. O Lord, deal as graciously with
Thy servants as Thou didst with Ruth.
How blessed would it be, if, in wandering in the field of meditation
to-night, our hap should be to light upon the place where our next
Kinsman will reveal Himself to us! O Spirit of God, guide us to Him. We
would sooner glean in His field than bear away the whole harvest from any
other. O for the footsteps of His flock, which may conduct us to the green
pastures where He dwells! This is a weary world when Jesus is away —
we could better do without sun and moon that without Him — but how
divinely fair all things become in the glory of His presence! Our souls
know the virtue which dwells in Jesus, and can never be content without
Him. We will wait in prayer this night until our hap shall be to light on a
part of the field belonging to Jesus wherein He will manifest Himself to us.
