The Lord repay your work, and a full reward be given you by the LORD… Ruth 2:12
Ruth gave up everything she knew, left her country, her people, her comforts and clung onto Naomi and her God and walked into a strange land.
She trusted the God of Israel with her unknown future. She found the favor of God and of the people. She was richly rewarded by God. She became a part of the lineage of our Lord Jesus Christ.
As Christians by faith, we are buried in our flesh and raised to a new life in Christ. We are called to take up the Cross, deny ourselves and follow HIM. As we follow Christ in this world, may we be found as faithful stewards of God's grace, for our labor is not in vain.
Rom 2:6 says, God, "will repay each person according to what they have done".
