There is a lot of doing the right thing here. We have seen Ruth’s character in the past few chapters and we know that in a tough situation she does the right thing, she does the correct thing. Now we see Boaz, in a situation that could tempt him to do the wrong thing. But Boaz is a man of character as well he does the correct thing, he does the right thing. How do we handle these types of situations at school, college or work? Do we do the right things; do we do the correct thing? I know that all too often I have made the wrong decisions in my life. I remember being at school and choosing whether to join in with bulling someone or not. I joined in the bulling, even though I too was bullied at different times and knew how it felt. I remember at college being late with some assignment and having to make the choice to be honest or hand in someone else’s work. A few changed words later and I made the wrong decision as I handed someone else’s work in as mine. Did I do this because I knew no better? No I knew the difference between the correct and the wrong choice and just chose to ignore it. Does this mean that I could never make the right choice? Does this mean that I am so bad that God wouldn’t want to know me? No No No! God loves me so much that he sent Jesus to die on the cross for my selfish acts. And God has worked in my life and changed me for the better little by little. These days it is still hard but I am making better choices. God also loves you too. He also sent Jesus to die on that Cross for the selfish things you do. He also wants to work in your life helping you become the very best you can be. He wants to help you make the correct choices, the right choices.
