Fed to Feed

“So, Ruth brought out what remained of her lunch and gave it to Naomi.” Ruth 2:18

Great grace had been extended to Ruth. Abundant Grace had been given to her. She, an outcast from God’s people, had been embraced by the ancestor of Christ and welcomed into his family circle. She had feasted at his table. She had been given handsful of purpose. And what did she do with it? She shared it! That’s right. She shared it. She didn’t hide from Naomi the nearly one bushel of grain she had gleaned. She willingly shared with Naomi the food she had been given.

So here it is. The perfect picture of what our lives should be like. We should not be hoarding the grace of God for ourselves. There is a world starving for the grace of God, and we have been given it in abundance. People die in a state of spiritual hunger every day, and they pass into a hopeless eternity. We have the Bread of Life in our hands. We need to share it. God will hold us accountable if we don’t.

Dear Father, Help me share the Bread of Life with a hungry world. Amen

  The Friday Benediction

Until Monday, my friends, may the good God envelop you with His grace; may you prove the common confession of faith, “I believe in the holy Christian church and in the fellowship of the saints”, and may you be enriched with joy and hope as you exercise that confession this weekend.  Amen
