Blessed Assurance

“Ruth said, ‘Let me find favor in your sight, for you have comforted me’.” Ruth 2:13

Ruth accepted Boaz’s gracious invitation. She was comforted by his grace. She was refreshed by his grace. The grace of Boaz was “Abundant Grace”. Ruth’s plea was not for more grace, but for the simple assurance that what Boaz had offered he would deliver. It seems a simple request, a request that Jesus understands and gladly gives us.

In the Gospel of John, Jesus said to His disciples, “I will not leave you as orphans.” In their sorrow he offered them comforting assurance. After they abandoned Him after His arrest in the Garden, He appeared to them while they cowered in fear in the Upper Room. When He was ready to ascend into heaven He told them, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Jesus know we need assurance and He graciously gives it every day. Ruth’s request was simple, and Boaz graciously fulfilled his word. Jesus will do no less for us.

Dear Father, Thank You for the many assurances of Your grace. Amen
