“And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left. And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not: and let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.”
Ruth 2:14-16 KJV
At mealtime, Boaz said to Ruth to come and eat with him and the others some bread and wine. Ruth immediately sat down with the workers. Boaz handed her some roasted grain, and she ate all she wanted until she was satisfied - she even had some left over. This is a picture of our Lord Jesus, the heavenly Boaz, inviting us to have communion with Him. After Ruth had returned to gather grain, Boaz instructed his workers to let Ruth glean even among the standing sheaves, to pull out from the bundles some handfuls of grain and drop them on purpose for her to gather and not to bother or disgrace her. These ‘handful of grains dropped on purpose’ signify the many blessings that fall upon us each day as we gather truths from Scripture for our needs, and the Lord Jesus drops handfuls of revelation on purpose for us to gather an abundant supply. He wants us to know that He provides all we need to meet the challenges of life. Such abundance of unlimited grace! Thank You Lord Jesus!
