BIBLE READING RUTH 3:1-6
1. Then Naomi her
mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that
it may be well with thee?
2. And now is not
Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley
to night in the threshingfloor.
3. Wash thyself
therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to
the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done
eating and drinking.
4. And it shall be,
when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou
shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee
what thou shalt do.
5. And she said
unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.
6. And she went
down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her.
MESSAGE
From our Bible
reading, we see how Ruth moved into her new level of breakthrough because she
received good counsel from her mother-in-law. Good counsel is needed in your
journey through life.
However, you must be
very careful who you take advice from because if your advisers are ungodly,
they will lead you astray. You must ensure that you surround yourself with
godly people whose counsel will tally with God’s word.
Of all counsellors,
there is none as good as the Wonderful Counsellor (Isaiah 9:6 ). His knowledge is so vast that there
is no area He cannot advice you on. Asides this, the Bible says God is mindful
of you.
This means that He
wants the best for you at all times. A person who genuinely wants the best for
you will always give you good advice. The good thing is that the Bible is
filled with God’s advice for you.
For example, do you
need advice on how to approach your studies or any duty committed to you? The
Bible says Seest thou a man diligent in his business, he’ll stand before kings (Proverbs 22:29 ).
Do you need advice on
how generously you should live? The Bible says in Luke 6:38 , Give, and it shall be
given unto you; good measure shall men give into your bosom.
A man who studies the
Bible daily and lives his life by what’s in it is automatically set up for an
abundant life devoid of mistakes and regrets.
KEY POINT
Be wise. Become
friends with the great Counsellor
HYMN
WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD
1. When we walk with the Lord
In the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way,
While we do His good will,
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey.

Not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away,
Not a doubt or a fear,
Not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

Not a grief nor a loss,
Not a frown nor a cross,
But is blest if we trust and obey.

The delights of His love,
Until all on the altar we lay,
For the favour He shows,
And the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.

We will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way,
What He says we will do,
Where He sends, we will go,
Never fear, only trust and obey.
