Could Boaz have been an attorney? The way Boaz handled himself in Ruth 4 impressed me. He was respectful. He followed every rule. And even though he may have wanted to, he didn't take any shortcuts. I particularly liked the skillful way he presented the opportunity to redeem Naomi to the man who had the first right to redeem. (Thus my attorney comment coming from me, a fellow attorney.) Boaz was honorable, trustworthy and true to his word.
So how can we make sure we're approaching every situation with wisdom like Boaz? What can we learn from Boaz that might help us navigate through our life circumstances? Tami W.
Following Boaz we should look to go the long way because a shortcut can get up in trouble ....look at every situation fully and make decisions based on the long haul not on the easy way ....but if the spirit is moving you to do other wise then follow God knows best...
How can we learn from Boaz? Yes Boaz was a gentleman, but we have Someone better to learn from, our Lord God. Do you realise how detailed God was when he created heaven and earth and all that is within? How detailed he was in His instructions for the building of the Tabernacle and the Ark and how detailed He was in everything including worship? Whatever we do, we must be detailed and do it as He has written for us to follow. He gives us simple instructions and even though we find them difficult sometimes, he has opened many doors so we should use them. Give Him thanks and praise His name as we walk with Him daily. Yes, we will fall, but He is by our side to pick us up so that we can continue.
Have a blessed weekend. Love and hugs.
Proverbs tells us that it is important to have wise counselors/friends around us and seek counsel from them
