“The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.”
Ruth 2:12
Ruth had left behind her homeland, choosing to care for Naomi and trust in the God of Israel. This verse is a reminder that God sees every sacrifice, every act of kindness, and every step of faith.
Ruth’s story shows that faith and loyalty to God bring blessings beyond what we can imagine. Her choice to take refuge under God’s wings led not only to provision but also to her place in the lineage of Christ. God notices your faithfulness. Even when others overlook your efforts, the Lord acknowledges them. We should be reminded that reward comes from God, not people. Human recognition fades, but divine reward is lasting.
Live today with confidence that your faithfulness matters. Whether in your family, workplace, or community, let your actions reflect trust in God’s care. Your quiet acts of love and faith are not wasted. God sees them, and He promises His covering and reward.
Charge: Let your life reflect God’s love and bring hope to others.
