Pastor Chris's motto of "doing the next right thing" rings loud again. Boaz did the next right thing. What he also did was NOT to start counting the cost to be obedient. That was what the kinsman-redeemer did. He was ready to help Naomi/Ruth, but when he started to count the cost of obedience...he backed off.
I want to be like Boaz. The cost of being obedient to God should not come into play when we make our decisions in life. Obedience to God must become the 'natural' thing to do. In other words....it is DOING THE NEXT RIGHT THING!
About Me
- Rich
- I am a sinner saved by God's grace. I, like most people, find myself scrambling to make time for God. I decided to start a blog after reading "Too Busy Not To Pray", by Bill Hybels. This is the 3rd time I read this book, but the 1st time it made a difference. I need to "slow down" and spend time with my Creator. Mr. Hybels recommends journaling, which I tried in the past. I thought I would commit to creating a blog as the method of journaling. My intentions were to blog every day, but then life happened. I need to do better.
