Getting It Done

If you are like me there are some projects around the house that just don't seem to get our attention. This is usually (but not always) a clue as to where are priorities lay. All to often we work on the things that are important to us. But let me ask a question, when the priorities are between the things of God and things for us which things do we work on first?


Boaz has been faced with a request. We have seen that Ruth has presented herself to be redeemed. I think it is important that this is something which God provided instruction for so Boaz was taking steps to complete what God intended to happen.

Ruth 4:1-2
4 Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there, and behold, the close relative of whom Boaz spoke was passing by, so he said, "Turn aside, friend, sit down here." And he turned aside and sat down. 2 He took ten men of the elders of the city and said, "Sit down here." So they sat down. NASU

Boaz did not delay, he went up to the gate the next day and pulled the kindsmen redeemer aside as well as city elders to witness this transation. Boaz did not delay, he did not avoid the situation because of possible outcome (the "closer relative" could have chosen to redeem Naomi's property and acquire Ruth).

Has God called you to do something? Has He provided you with instructions? Then I want to encourage you today, do not delay. seek to deal with the matter as soon as possible.
