“And let fall some of the handsful
of purpose for her.” (KJV) Ruth 2:16
We have arrived at my favorite verse in my favorite book of the Bible.
In my book, The Gospel According to
Molly, I wrote an entire chapter on this verse. This verse should bring
tears to our eyes and a rush of unspeakable joy to our hearts. It is Jesus
Himself saying to us, “I am leaving plenty for
you, purposefully for you, food
that is mine alone to give to you. I
command the very angels of heaven to drop them for you.”
Boaz did not put the handsful of purpose in the bag for her. She still
bent to the labor that was her assigned task. The provision was made by his
grace. It became a reality as she followed his workers through the field. The
apostles and prophets have given us plenty of food in God’s Word to pick up and
nourish ourselves. We have no need to be hungry in body or in heart or in
spirit, for God still leaves us handsful
of purpose.
Dear Father, Thank You for the generous provision You make for us. Amen.
