Take Notice

[m&m]

TAKE NOTICE
Blessed be the one who took notice of you – Ruth 2:19


While standing in a checkout line, I was estimating my bill and trying to keep my son from wandering away. I barely noticed when the woman ahead of me shuffled toward the exit, leaving all of her items behind. The clerk confided that the woman didn’t have enough money to pay her bill. I felt terrible; if only I had been aware of her situation earlier, I would have helped her.

In the book of Ruth, Boaz became aware of Ruth’s plight when he saw her gleaning in his fields (2:5). He learned that she was recently widowed and was the breadwinner for herself and her mother-in-law. Boaz saw her need for protection, and warned his harvesters to leave her alone (v9). He supplied her with extra food by instructing his workers to let grain fall purposely (v16). Boaz even addressed Ruth’s emotional needs by comforting her (vv11-12). When Naomi heard about this, she said, “blessed be the one who took notice of you” (v.19).

Are you aware of the needs of the people around you – in your church, neighborhood, or under your own roof? Today, consider how you might help bear someone’s burden. Then you will be fulfilling God’s plan for you (Ga. 6:2; Eph2:10)

Help me Lord, to notice
The hurting, sick and lost;
Guide me as I help them
Regardless of the cost.

God works through us to meet the needs of those around us.

Sometimes you feel pity to those who are less than your own situation. Yes im a less fortunate but many others are very poor who cant afford to buy their foods and needs. We pity for them. but how can we help them? by praying to those who need better shelter and foods. Sometimes if i have leftover in our foods i share with other children who getting plastic bottles in us. they says Its better to give than to receive.
