  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: yesterday's portion of heavenly manna the word of God to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
• 0:19

  Speaker 2: lesson study series how to study the Bible Prophecy, and
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: our caption for today is Ruth and Boaz. Ruth and Boaz.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: We'll get into that in just a moment, but first
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I'd like to just say welcome to you and ask
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: you to go over to your Daily Portion dot com,

  Speaker 2: continue to build faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray. Father,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: We thank you for this new morning and for the
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: privilege to come together in this manner again. All over
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: the world, in so many countries, we are now converging
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: upon this point to study and to know your word
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: and to be connected with you. Please help us to

  Speaker 2: be that way with you, like connected and covered by you.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen and DayMen again Ruth
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: and Boaz, pardon me, And so now we jump into
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: the part of the story where the relationship, if you
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: want to say, between Ruth and Boaz, is developing. There's
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: so much to say here, but let me just ask you.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: When you are going through your greatest trials, when you're
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: going through your greatest difficulties, what name do you give yourself?
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I said, do you give yourself? Because what happens is
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: just like Naomi, that was Ruth's mother in law or
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: PA's mother in law. Yeah, she gave her name something
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: that magnified her problem. Let me just say that one
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: more time, slower. Naomi gave herself a name that magnified
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: her problem. What I want to implore all of us
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: to do is, when we are going through our greatest trials,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: we need to engender or embody the name that will
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: be written in our foreheads. Uh oh, we talked about
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: this not long ago. The name that is written in
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: our foreheads is the name that is above every name.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: That at the name of Jesus, every need shall bow
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: to the glory of God the Father. And you're like,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: but David, it says that your father's name will be
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: written in your forehead. Did you know that Jesus and
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: the Father are one? The Holy Ghost, Jesus and the
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Father are one. The point is the name that we
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: should accept, whether we're going through a wonderful time or
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: a difficult time, is the name of our God. Why
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: because if we name ourself based on our problems, then
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: that is what will be magnified in our lives. We
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: want to magnify the Lord. Go the Bible says, magnify
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: the Lord. And this is what our lives should be.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: A magnifying of the Lord. Now, I fully intended to
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: read from the Bible Book of Ruth two verses five
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: through twenty. But I need you to do that in
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: your spare time, and let's just see what message we
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: can get from those passages, and then we'll wrap a
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: nice bou on this and let you go. So in
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: verse two, chapter two and verse five, we see now
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: that then said Boaz unto his servant, whose damsel is this?
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: This is after Naomi is giving Ruth some guidance about
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: how to get the attention of the kinsman redeemer, the
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: one that would, if he noticed her, would also take
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: care of her. Can I just say that God notices you?
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Can I say that before you were created and put
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: into your mother's womb, he knew you well, he knew
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: that you would be whatever it is that he called
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: you to be. This is what God knows. And so yes,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: if we do what God says, he's noticing through the
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Holy Ghost, and that means that we belong to him.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: See Boaz is trying to figure out, like, how can
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I be connected to her? But let me just make sure.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Let me just make sure that she's not connected into
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: someone else. And so God notices when we serve faithfully.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: This may make more sense once you have fully fully
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: read through Ruth chapter two. And now in verse eleven,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: it hath fully been showed me how thou hast left
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: thy father and thy mother. I think the Bible says
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: that a man shall leave his father and mother and
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: cleave to his wife. I think that the Bible says,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Paul speaking, I show you a mystery. I'm not talking
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: about just regular relationships here talking about Christ and the Church.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: But it says here thou hast left thy father and
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: thy mother aren't and aren't come unto a people which
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: thou knowest not. And so the lesson for me is
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: that the story of Ruth is known by Boaz because
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: he's inquiring. Her character went before her and then opened
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: doors under God. And so your quiet integrity, it doesn't
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: have to be all on the internet. On the internet,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: your quiet integrity and can travel farther than your voice
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: ever could. And so her integrity was manifest in how
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: she lived. And now in verse ten, why have I
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: found grace in thine eyes? Seeing I am a stranger.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I believe the Bible teaches us. I'm saying that for
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: a fact, the Bible does teach us in Isaiah fifty
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: six that when people keep covenant with God. When we
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: keep covenant with God, we should not call ourselves strangers.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: We should not call ourselves a dry tree. We're not
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: you nux. We are not torn. We are not separated
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: from God. If we keep covenant with God, we keep
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: the sabbath to make it holy. Yet keep it holy
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: when we are connected to God and covenant. He said
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: that I will give you a name that is greater,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: that is better than of sons and of daughters. It
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: is a name that will remain forever. Why because my house,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: God's house is a house of prayer for all people.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: The Bible says, why have I found grace in thine eyes?
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Seeing I'm a stranger? Well, you ain't no stranger, no more,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Sister Ruth. The Bible says that this moment pivots the
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: entire book from sorrow to hope. Ruth expects to be
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: ignored or dismissed, but instead receives favor. Some of you
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: are going through that right now. You're wondering, is God
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: listening to you when you pray, when you are crying
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: in the night season, when you feel separated from Him,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: when you feel like a stranger in a strange land.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: The Bible is teaching us that God's grace always exceeds
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: our expectations. Let me hurry up here. In verse twelve,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: the Bible reads, the Lord recompens thy work, and a
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: full reward be given thee you see bo As praise
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: blessings over Ruth, I think, the Bible says, and a
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: song actually highlights that God spreads his banner over us,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: which is love Ezekiel, I think it. Chapter sixteen talks
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: about the relationship God has with his people and how
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: he is covering us, and the Bible says teaches us
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: that he speaks Boas speaks into her future, a future
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: tied to God's providence. A God benefactor doesn't only provide,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: they also will cover and speak over your life. They
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: will cover you. They will cover you. And so I
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: wish I had the time. But let me just say
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: this part very closely and clearly from Ruth chapter two
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: and verse twenty, the Bible teaches us that Boaz, in
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: his generosity and good character, sees a woman who also
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: has good character. And the long story short, Jesus Christ
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: actually comes through this line. And now we know this
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: story has always been always been about how God redeems
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: us through Christ. Make it a great day.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah.
