So what does Boaz have to do with you and your daily life and pressures? Consider this: it means that God has a detailed and providential plan that He is working in your life – even when it seems like your life is dull and boring.

The situations that frighten us and overwhelm us are actually scenarios from the Lord designed to test our faith and strengthen our faith.

In these days of great uncertainty, our great God wants His people to know that He can be trusted. And He is giving us the opportunity to find out for ourselves that His promises can be trusted.

In the midst of this unsettling frenzy there is something we all need to know. God is your banker. God is your social security. God is your health-care provider. You don’t need a bigger government. You have a great God. And unlike silver-tongued politicians, He can be trusted to keep His promises. I vote for Him.

The Boaz Man, as we saw in the last chapter, is a solid citizen and family man, a man of character and integrity who operates out of servanthood, rather than selfishness or greed. Because the Lord Jesus Christ is King of his life, he in turn serves his King by serving others.

I’m not a Christian because I need a crutch. Hey, I need a stretcher!

Unrealistic expectations are a subtle way of setting ourselves up for disappointment, discouragement, and even depression.

Error increases with distance. It’s true with bowling, and it’s true with families.

What can I do to provide for my children that’s really significant? The answer is to love their mother unconditionally.

It’s the quiet life of obedience that will earn a hearing.
