“And, behold, Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and said unto the reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee. Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?”
Ruth 2:4-5 KJV
At that moment, Boaz came from Bethlehem to survey his harvest. He greeted the harvesters, “May Yahweh be with you.” They replied, “May Yahweh bless you.” Noticing Ruth, Boaz asked his foreman in charge of the harvesters, “Who is that young woman over there?” This is the start of a beautiful romance between Boaz and Ruth. Boaz means strength and he is a prophetic figure of Jesus Christ, our older Brother and Kinsman-Redeemer. Jesus, too, came from Bethlehem to bless His harvesters. Today’s harvesters are the evangelists who go to the nations of the earth to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. May Yahweh’s blessing indeed be upon them as they seek a global harvest of souls. The Holy Spirit is the Lord of the Harvest Who equips and places each believer in the harvest fields where we will be the most effective. Boaz asked who the young woman was? Let Jesus look at us and notice us because we love Him and let our romance with Him be alive as we trust Him more and more and ascend into deeper intimacy with Him. Amen!
