Rth 2:19 And her mother-in-law said to her, "Where did you glean today? And where have you worked? Blessed be the man who took notice of you." So she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked and said, "The man's name with whom I worked today is Boaz."
Rth 2:20 And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, "May he be blessed by the LORD, whose kindness has not forsaken the living or the dead!" Naomi also said to her, "The man is a close relative of ours, one of our redeemers."
Rth 2:21 And Ruth the Moabite said, "Besides, he said to me, 'You shall keep close by my young men until they have finished all my harvest.'"
Rth 2:22 And Naomi said to Ruth, her daughter-in-law, "It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his young women, lest in another field you be assaulted."
Rth 2:23 So she kept close to the young women of Boaz, gleaning until the end of the barley and wheat harvests. And she lived with her mother-in-law.

Oh Father, thank you for the beautiful picture of your care for us in the Book of Ruth.
You bring us into your household and extend your protection, provision and defense until such time as these harvests of men's souls are concluded.
Then the Bride of Christ will be revealed, dressed in linen, clean and white, even the Righteousness of Him who loved us.

O Bride of Christ, rejoice!
Exultant raise thy voice
To hail the day of glory,
Foretold in sacred story.
Refrain
Hosanna, praise and glory,
Our King, we bow before Thee.
Let shouts of gladness rise
Triumphant to the skies.
Here comes the King most glorious
To reign o’er all victorious
Refrain
He wears no kingly crown
Yet as a king He’s known;
Though not arrayed in splendor,
He still makes death surrender.
Refrain
The weak and timid find
How meek He is and kind;
To them He gives a treasure
Of bliss beyond all measure.
Refrain
Thy heart now open wide,
Bid Christ with thee abide;
He graciously will hear thee,
And be forever near thee.
Refrain
Then go thy Lord to meet;
Strew palm leaves at His feet;
Thy garments spread before Him
And honor and adore Him.
Refrain
E’en babes with one accord
With thee shall praise the Lord,
And every gentile nation
Respond with exultation.

Amen, beyond all circumstances, all men, all battles and spiritual forces of wickedness, all opposition, even beyond the victories in themselves, let us rejoice in Jesus. We are written on the palms of His hands. At the end He will open them up like a book and say, "This one, this precious one I love, is written here." Amen.
