“And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.”
Ruth 3:9 KJV
Boaz was surprised to find a woman lying at his feet. When Boaz asked her who she was, Ruth answered that she was Ruth, his servant girl and to spread the corner of his garment over her because he was a close relative by marriage, one who was her kinsman-redeemer. This shows our Kinsman-Redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ and we ask Him to spread His wings over us and heals us. His mantle of anointing covers us. Ruth had no false humility and she boldly requested grace from Boaz. We too come boldly to the Throne of Grace and boldly ask for Grace Who is the Lord Jesus Himself. Grace and Truth came from Him. Let’s not walk in false humility but remember the covenant of grace given to us by the finished work of the Cross. Thank You for redeeming us, our Kinsman-Redeemer!
