THE TABLE HAS BEEN SET: COME AND EAT
Ruth 2:3, KJV
"And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech."
There will be those who are unfortunate. When they are telling their stories, it'll be that of maltreatment and tragedies. Not that there's no one who doesn't experience tragedy, however some are not really comforted when they experience it. So, their testimony remains that of "broken bones" (Psalm 34:20).
I perceive in the spirit that I should make this announcement. The table has been set for someone and the cry is come and eat. Just like some walked into their traps headlong, you can walk into your blessing under the shepherd's guidance and surveillance. I'm hearing, "the table is set." There's a place where God has finished His work but is looking to fling, post or throw you to. He wants that place to be your habitat and your place of abode. It could be a location or an institution. Look at Mary the mother of Jesus, I wouldn't understand why it was her who met with the table God has set in the life of Joseph, of the lineage of Judah (where there's a promise of birthing the Saviour).
Look at Ruth, a moabitess - a foreigner walking into the portion of her future husband as if she has come to take what belongs to her and claim her right. In Ruth 2:1, the Bible describes Boaz as a wealthy and influential relative of Elimelech, the father-in-law of Ruth. Later on, we see her as one of the kinsmen redeemer closest to Ruth (Ruth 3:12). O God, how I pray again for myself and all reading this that their journey would be effective and straight to the table you have prepared. Ruth doesn't have to start struggling for what to eat after marrying Boaz. Never! Boaz is a settled man with an estate that can pamper any woman, even a dozen if he chooses to have that much. Boaz is a man with God's fear. He wouldn't take advantage of Ruth even when she laid at his feet (Ruth 3:8). He's also just. He wouldn't take advantage of the nearest kinsman redeemer to Ruth (Ruth 3:12-13). He rather offered him the chance to redeem and buy their estates first of all. It was when he couldn't, he accepted the responsibility to marry Ruth. Ruth just came in to enjoy wealth and all the harvest that has been accumulated. This is how God would guide those ladies who cling to Him and love His blessedness more than the perishing rewards of sin. Meanwhile, there are those God will be posting to places where they'll be needed. A place where they'll find acceptance and manifest the will of God. All things are ready for them as well. Rejoice for the table is set.
PRAYER/CONFESSION: I am rightly guided. The table is set for me.
