“Blessed
are you of the Lord, for you did not go after young men, whether poor or rich.”
Ruth 3:10
How many offers does the world make
to us each day to tear our attention away from Christ? There are the old Greek
philosophies that get recycled every generation. There are the pagan cult
options from ancient Canaan that focus on sexual immorality. There are the
intellectual calls from a crowd apparently too well informed to believe in God.
There is the newer and dramatically demanding call of sports to consume our
time, attention, and resources.
Then there is Christ, our creator,
savior, and keeper. From eternity past He has loved us and calls us to faith in
Him. When Ruth went to Boaz to appeal to his relationship, He responded to her
with praise. There were so many other options she could have sought out, but
she sought out the one that God had designed in His word as the right choice.
She had chosen the kinsman redeemer. We need, like Ruth, to heed only the call
of Christ for our worship and devotion.
Dear Father, Help us to keep our
hearts tuned only to the call of Christ. Amen
