The best is yet to come

‘Boaz begot Obed by Ruth,’ Matthew 1:5 NKJV

Humanly speaking, the chances of a Gentile like Ruth marrying a wealthy Jew like Boaz were less than zero, because the law of Moses forbade it. ‘An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter the assembly of the Lord; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants shall enter the assembly of the Lord forever’ (Deuteronomy 23:3 NKJV). If ever a door looked shut, locked, and bolted, it was this one. But when people and circumstances rule, God overrules. The Bible says, ‘… He who is Holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”’ (Revelation 3:7 NKJV). God, not people, holds the key to your future.

Jesus said, ‘… The things which are impossible with men are possible with God’ (Luke 18:27 NKJV). From this unusual combination of Jew and Gentile, rich and poor, accepted and rejected, would come Jesus the Redeemer of the world. The record reads, ‘Boaz begot Obed by Ruth.’ So, the word for today is—the best is yet to come. Your walk with Christ can produce fruit that blesses generations to come. Live in the present and enjoy every day God gives you, but always keep the long view in mind. It’s not just about what God wants to do for you, but what He wants to do through you that will bless others. God told Abraham, ‘I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing … and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed’ (Genesis 12:2-3 NKJV). Claim that promise!

SoulFood: Lev 21:1 – 23:25 Luke 21-25-28 Ps 50:1-15 Pro 10:3

TRAIN UP YOUR CHILD 1

One major undoing of modern civilized society is an abounding generation of untrained children. This trend did not just start, but has been on for some time now.

A LIBERAL HEART?

Read:
, God asked the widow to feed the prophet before taking care of herself. At the end of the day, what was not enough became more than enough. To what extent do you practice giving as an individual, family, church or nation?

Those who never give will continue to beg, if you desire to...More
