Come Out of That Corner, is a reading using the Book of Ruth, a love story about a man and a young widow. It’s a redemption story regarding this wealthy man, a young woman, and a near kinsman. The events in the Book of Ruth occurred during the period of the judges, a time not much different from our own day, if you focus only on the evils of today, you’ll become pessimistic and cynical. But if you ask God what field He wants you to work in and faithfully serve Him, you’ll experience His grace, love, and joy.
The Book reminds us that God is still at work in our lives and in our world. He has not forgotten you nor your faithfulness towards Him. Your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.
When Boaz saw Ruth, he called her out of the corner of the field into the midst of the harvest field. Even though you may be in a crowd of people, God can make it so, just like Ruth, that you stand out among them all.
Be assured God has not forgotten you, nor does He overlook you. When He has prepared for you, you will hear Him call, “Come Out of That Corner!
Blessings,
Presiding Elder Barbara Hayes
