- 1:29Speaker 2: as they rest in you in Jesus name, Amen, Now
- 1:35Speaker 2: drift off to the land of dreams as the story begins.
- 1:43Speaker 3: Settle in as the story of Ruth and Naomi unfolds
- 1:48Speaker 3: through the eyes of Ruth, Imagine the world that Ruth saw.
- 1:55Speaker 3: Look once again past your grain fields and crops, decimated
- 2:01Speaker 3: by drought and famine. You've lost everything. See a spot
- 2:09Speaker 3: under oak trees where sadly your husband, Mollin is buried. Naomi,
- 2:16Speaker 3: your mother in law, comes outside and sees you looking
- 2:21Speaker 3: sadly out of the land. She grieves too, and has
- 2:26Speaker 3: lost both her sons. There's nothing left for her here.
- 2:32Speaker 3: She wants to go back to her land. Still, she
- 2:36Speaker 3: wants nothing but the best for you. See Naomi smile
- 2:41Speaker 3: at you and speak this blessing over you. May the
- 2:47Speaker 3: Lord show you kindness. May he help you find rest
- 2:51Speaker 3: in another home. Naomi has been so kind to you.
- 3:02Speaker 3: Your stepsister decides to leave Naomi and go back to
- 3:06Speaker 3: her old friends and family. What will you do? You
- 3:11Speaker 3: are so thankful for the kindness she has shown you.
- 3:15Speaker 3: If you stay with Naomi, you will go to a
- 3:18Speaker 3: new land and live in a new place without much money,
- 3:23Speaker 3: but you'll do it with someone you love and trust. Look,
- 3:29Speaker 3: Naomi says to you, your sister in law has gone
- 3:34Speaker 3: back to her people and to her gods. You should
- 3:38Speaker 3: do the same. But you have made up your mind.
- 3:43Speaker 3: Don't ask me to leave you and turn back, you say.
- 3:48Speaker 3: Your heart fills with love for her. Wherever you go,
- 3:54Speaker 3: I will go. Wherever you live, I will of your
- 4:01Speaker 3: people will be my people, and your God will be
- 4:08Speaker 3: my God. Wherever you die, I will die, and there
- 4:14Speaker 3: I will be buried. Naomi sees your devotion and smiles.
- 4:22Speaker 3: You both prepare for the trip to this new land together.
- 4:27Speaker 3: You pack your belongings and go to sleep. As you
- 4:32Speaker 3: close your eyes, you dream of the new places and
- 4:35Speaker 3: people you will see tomorrow. Rest for a moment and
- 4:43Speaker 3: breathe in that same spirit of trust from God. Breathe
- 4:49Speaker 3: out and release your worries. Breathe in and let the
- 4:55Speaker 3: Holy Spirit fill you with faith. Rest now in God's arms.
- 5:09Speaker 3: You take off the cloth that covers your head, shake
- 5:13Speaker 3: it out, and rewrap it across your forehead. The hot
- 5:18Speaker 3: sun is beating down on you this morning, but you
- 5:21Speaker 3: couldn't be happier. You stand in a field thick with grain,
- 5:28Speaker 3: a wealthy man named Boas has let you pick his
- 5:32Speaker 3: leftover barley. As you walk behind his workers, you hear
- 5:38Speaker 3: Boaz's voice booming to the harvesters, blessing them the Lord
- 5:43Speaker 3: be with you. Your cheeks flush. His deep baritone voice
- 5:51Speaker 3: reminds you of your late husband Mollin. Secretly, you long
- 5:56Speaker 3: for a strong and kind companion. Embarrassed by your thoughts,
- 6:02Speaker 3: you glue your eyes to the ground. You overhear Boaz
- 6:08Speaker 3: quiz a foreman, who does that young woman belong to.
- 6:13Speaker 2: You?
- 6:13Speaker 3: Hear him asking about you, and wonder whether he will
- 6:17Speaker 3: despise you because you're a foreign woman. Breathe in and
- 6:23Speaker 3: feel your heart beat. As Boaz approaches you, Boaz speaks
- 6:31Speaker 3: gently to you, stay here with the women who work
- 6:36Speaker 3: for me. You look into his eyes. They are warm,
- 6:42Speaker 3: dancing with merriment. At meal time, Boaz says to you,
- 6:48Speaker 3: come over here, have some bread and dip it in
- 6:51Speaker 3: the wine vinegar. You feel him watching you as you
- 6:56Speaker 3: take a piece of bread and dip it in the vinegar.
- 7:00Speaker 3: You eat all you want and try not to blush.
- 7:04Speaker 3: You didn't realize how hungry you were. At the end
- 7:09Speaker 3: of the day, Boaz gives you a huge basket of
- 7:13Speaker 3: food that you take home. You share your food and
- 7:17Speaker 3: story with Naomi. Blessed be the man who took notice
- 7:22Speaker 3: of you, Naomi says. Then Naomi suggests a bold plan.
- 7:30Speaker 3: She tells you to dress up and visit Boaz at
- 7:34Speaker 3: night after he sorts the grain out from the chaff.
- 7:38Speaker 3: You hide your shock as Naomi describes how to lay
- 7:42Speaker 3: at his feet.
- 7:45Speaker 2: Your heart flutters.
- 7:47Speaker 3: But you still tell Naomi, okay, I'll do everything you say.
- 7:54Speaker 3: You tiptoe passed the grain pile and hear Boaz snoring.
- 7:59Speaker 3: Saw you lay down quietly at his feet. At midnight,
- 8:09Speaker 3: Boaz wakes you up. You gather all your courage and
- 8:15Speaker 3: ask him to give you his cover of protection as
- 8:19Speaker 3: your family redeemer. His voice is tender. I am a guardian,
- 8:26Speaker 3: redeemer of our family, he tells you. If the other
- 8:31Speaker 3: guardian is not willing, I will do it. Boas hasn't
- 8:37Speaker 3: rejected you. He's welcomed you as family. As you fall
- 8:43Speaker 3: back asleep, savor the feeling that someone kind will take
- 8:48Speaker 3: care of you. Rest for a moment and breathe in
- 8:54Speaker 3: that same spirit of trust from God. Breathe out, let
- 9:02Speaker 3: go of any earthly thing you're clinging to. The Next morning,
- 9:10Speaker 3: you go with Boaz to the town gate, surrounded by
- 9:13Speaker 3: a crowd of witnesses and neighbors. He commits himself to you.
- 9:20Speaker 3: He tells the witnesses to day you are witnesses that
- 9:25Speaker 3: I have acquired Ruth, the Moabite widow of Molin, to
- 9:29Speaker 3: be my wife. Then the witnesses cheer for you. They
- 9:35Speaker 3: look at you and speak this blessing over you. May
- 9:40Speaker 3: the Lord make you like Rachel and Leah, from whom
- 9:45Speaker 3: all the nation of Israel descended. Boaz beams with pride
- 9:51Speaker 3: as they slap him on the back. A few days later,
- 9:56Speaker 3: Naomi places a bridal veil over your head. She Sai
- 10:00Speaker 3: miles with tears in her eyes, reminding you of God's provision.
- 10:06Speaker 3: Tears flow as you remember how far You've come. Only
- 10:11Speaker 3: because of the Lord's goodness has this dream come to pass.
- 10:17Speaker 3: Soon you have your first child, a baby boy. All
- 10:22Speaker 3: your dreams have come true and more. You don't know
- 10:27Speaker 3: it yet, but your son Obd will be the grandfather
- 10:31Speaker 3: of David, the Great King of Israel. Through David's line,
- 10:37Speaker 3: the Messiah will be born Jesus the Redeemer. For the
- 10:41Speaker 3: entire world. May you dream in peace, trust God's provision,
- 10:49Speaker 3: and lay your future in his hands. Just as God
- 10:54Speaker 3: provided richly for Ruth, he will provide richly for you.
- 11:02Speaker 3: Bring anything that feels unresolved, relationships, projects, decisions, commit them
- 11:12Speaker 3: over to God and his plans, and receive this same
- 11:17Speaker 3: blessing that Ruth received. May the Lord, the God of Israel,
- 11:25Speaker 3: under whose wings you have come to take refuge, reward
- 11:29Speaker 3: you fully for what you have done. Now shift your
- 11:36Speaker 3: mind away from today's tasks and worries. Soak in God's
- 11:44Speaker 3: presence and get comfortable. Close your eyes and relax. Breathe
- 11:54Speaker 3: in God's peace and breathe out your troubles.
- 12:11Speaker 2: So pace your breathing now as you continue to listen
- 12:14Speaker 2: to the word of God as it's prayed over you
- 12:17Speaker 2: softly in this continuing time of peaceful relaxation. Just breathe
- 12:23Speaker 2: slowly and deeply as you listen to God's word for you.
- 12:28Speaker 2: Just breathe, just imagine, just dream. You can lie down
- 12:39Speaker 2: and sleep soundly because the Lord will keep you safe.
- 13:14Speaker 2: For God is not a god of confusion, but of peace.
- 13:50Speaker 2: Turn away from evil, do good, seek peace, pursue peace,
- 14:28Speaker 2: Cast all your anxieties, on him because he cares for you.
- 15:04Speaker 2: Sleep and wake up refreshed because the Lord will protect
- 15:08Speaker 2: and care for you. Now, May the God of Peace
- 15:42Speaker 2: himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and
- 15:46Speaker 2: soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of
- 15:50Speaker 2: our Lord Jesus Christ. Aim for restoration, Comfort one another,

- 19:08Speaker 2: rule in your heart, to which indeed you were called,
- 19:12Speaker 2: and be thankful. Stay in peace. You will both lie
- 19:48Speaker 2: down and sleep, for the Lord alone will help you rest,

- 1:22:16Speaker 2: and do not be afraid. When you lie down, your
- 1:22:19Speaker 2: sleep will be sweet. Stay in peace. You will both
- 1:22:59Speaker 2: lie down and sleep, for the Lord alone will help
- 1:23:02Speaker 2: you rest, abide and dwell in safety. A time to love,

- 1:24:20Speaker 2: to you by God's grace alone, through faith in Jesus alone.
- 1:24:25Speaker 2: Salvation is yours. Rest there God's presen since we'll go
- 1:25:00Speaker 2: with you, and He will give you rest. The spirit
