You Need to Work

Scripture: Ruth 2 Key Verse: 2:15 & 20a
When she got up to gather grain, Boaz ordered his servants, "Let her gather grain even among the bundles. Don't give her any problems.

Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, "May the LORD bless him. The Lord hasn't stopped being kind to the people--living or dead."

Objective:
The story of how Ruth met Boaz as she gathered grain from the field for her and her Naomi.

Application:
Todays lesson is simple. Sometimes God doesn't answer prayers the way we think he should. I am sure it would have been nice if Boaz would just have given her all the grain she wanted for her and Naomi, but she had to work to get it. It doesn't mean God doesn't care but he gives u the ability to earn what we get. It is a blessing to be able to work and earn what we need.

Prayer:
Lord remind me of the blessings you have given me in my job and life. Thanks for giving me life so that I may work. Help us be the people you want us to be.
