Gleaning in Faith - Audio

Dr. Smith explores the Book of Ruth, emphasizing faith and obedience. Even when confused or hurt, trusting in God is paramount, as demonstrated by Ruth and Naomi. Ruth's decision to glean wasn't a demand but a trust in God's existing provisions for the vulnerable, like widows. This act showed faith, not expecting miracles, but relying on God's established ways. Dr. Smith highlights the importance of storing God’s word in our hearts before crises arises, enabling us to act in faith, not panic. Faith invests effort, as Ruth did, leading God to direct her to Boaz's field. God wants our hearts and obedience, even without knowing the outcome. True belief manifests in action, not just intellectual agreement.
