Ruth 2 Continued: Boaz speaks to Ruth

After listening to the reaper supervisor and finding out the exact identity of this person Ruth, Boaz is smitten.

Rth 2:8 Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens:
Rth 2:9 Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.

He does not want to lose this one! He charged her not to glean any place else! In the presence of all, he took her from the place of gathering whatever was left after everyone else was finished, and placed her alongside his own maidens. Boaz promoted Ruth. He lifted her up.

The young men present heard his words: they were not to lay a hand on this one. And if she got thirsty, they were to provide her drinks.

God recognizes those who seek Him. He knows those who glean the fields after the reapers. He asks if we hear Him (faith cometh by hearing). And if we hear Him, will we do what He tells us, and abide? Will we stay close by His maidens? He has charged his angels not to harm us. In fact, they will serve us. They are ministers to the heirs of salvation.

Hebrews 1:13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
