239. Walking in Humility (OT-#7) - Ruth - March 2, 2023

Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley.  Today, we will be going over Proverb 2.  I will then key in on verse 6 - For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.  Friends, to really acquire wisdom, you must have the Fear of the Lord.  That is the beginning of knowledge (Proverb 1:7); which, as you apply that knowledge will lead to understanding; will will eventually lead to wisdom.  Today we will continue our study on the topic of humility.  Today we will look at a woman named Ruth.  Ruth had married a man from a family that had come from the land of Judah.  She had been with him ten years, when he died.  She had fallen in love with her mother-in-law Naomi.  Naomi had now lost her husband and both of her sons, and was in a foreign land.  She wished to move back to her homeland of Judah.  She loved her daughters-in-law, but suggested that they go back to their real parents.  One chose that path, but Ruth "clung" to Naomi.  I will read Ruth, Chapter 1, verses 16-17.  Ruth humbled herself before Naomi.  Then, she humbles herself before Boaz, a friend of Naomi's former husband.  I will read Chapter 2: verses 10-13.  She ends up marrying this man, Boaz, and had a child with him.  She became the great, great, Grandmother of King David of Israel.  CALL to ACTION - Continue to look for opportunities to pay people compliment who look like they could use one, and help out anyone you see that could use a hand.  Suggested scripture reading:  If you can find time, read this short book of the Bible titled Ruth.  It is short (only four chapters) and is a study in humility.
