Sometime ago my oldest son place a video on Facebook of your granddaughter eating brownies, the "funny part" was that as she sat there eating with chocolate all over her face she proceeded to tell her dad that she wasn't doing anything..... duh! Busted!
There are times that the "proof" is obvious to those around us. Such was the case with Ruth. As she came home from a day of gleaning is was obvious that something special happened that day.
Ruth 2:17-23
17 So she gleaned in the field until evening. Then she beat out what she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley. 18 She took it up and went into the city, and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. She also took it out and gave Naomi what she had left after she was satisfied. 19 Her mother-in-law then said to her, "Where did you glean today and where did you work? May he who took notice of you be blessed." So she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked and said, "The name of the man with whom I worked today is Boaz." 20 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, " May he be blessed of the Lord who has not withdrawn his kindness to the living and to the dead." Again Naomi said to her, "The man is our relative, he is one of our closest relatives." 21 Then Ruth the Moabitess said, " Furthermore, he said to me, 'You should stay close to my servants until they have finished all my harvest.'" 22 Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, "It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maids, so that others do not fall upon you in another field." 23 So she stayed close by the maids of Boaz in order to glean until the end of the barley harvest and the wheat harvest. And she lived with her mother-in-law.NASU
To Naomi the signs were clear. She hadn't seen anything like it before but now she was seeing it. What you ask? She was seeing God work. Sadly, many today would say "she was lucky" or "what good fate", but the truth of the matter is God directed Ruth to the field of Boaz.
What are the things for which you would say God is "Busted" for what he has done in your life today?
