Ruth 3 – Strive to be a person of excellence

Naomi and Ruth plot a way to entice Boaz into seeking out a marriage with Naomi (spoiler alert: it works). In the midst of the wooing process Boaz says, “all [the Israelites] in the city know that you are a woman of excellence.” That is an amazing complement.

Is there anyone in your community of whom it could be said “everyone knows he or she is a person of excellence”? Is there anyone in your community of whom it could be said “all the Christians know he or she is a person of excellence”? Is there anyone in your church of whom it could be said “the whole church knows he or she is a person of excellence”?

Strive to be that person. Not so you can “excellent”. But so others can see the amazing ways in which God is working through you.
