Well Done Good and Faithful Servant - Part 7C

Hearing that bread was available in Bethlehem, Naomi began a return journey. She was joined by her daughters-in-law, Orpah and Ruth.Being in the company of Naomi, Orpah and Ruth represent believers instructed in the Word of the Kingdom which is inferred by the marriage conversation.The PURPOSE before Orpah and Ruth was to find REST, each in the house of her husband! The RESPONSIBILITY before them was to make the journey to Bethlehem under the instruction of Naomi! With the passage of time, each of them would be held ACCOUNTABLE!Like the servants in both the Parables of the Talents and Minas, Orpah and Ruth had each been given talents/minas. They had heard the master’s instruction to do business with them in full anticipation of his return. Although Orpah went back to her people and gods, she would not be absolved from ACCOUNTABILITY, otherwise God would be impartial contrary to His Word! Contextually, Ruth typifies the servants who did business with their talents.What Ruth DID with the instructions given by both Naomi and Ruth would be the basis of settling accounts and this alone would determine if Boaz would grant her the request to take her under his wing or not−Ru 3:11 .
