The Best Is Yet To Come
'Boaz begot Obed by Ruth." Matthew 1:5 NKJV
Humanly speaking, the chances of a Gentile like Ruth marrying a wealthy Jew like Boaz were less than zero, because the law of Moses forbade it. "An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter the assembly of the Lord; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants shall enter the assembly of the Lord forever" (Deuteronomy 23:3 NKJV). If ever a door looked shut, locked, and bolted, it was this one. But when people and circumstances rule, God overrules. His resume reads: "He who has the key...He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens" (Revelation 3:7 NKJV). God, not people, holds the key to your future. Jesus said, "The things which are impossible with men are possible with God" (Luke 18:27 NKJV). From this unusual combination of Jew and Gentile, rich and poor, accepted and rejected, would come Jesus the Redeemer of the world. The record reads, "Boaz begot Obed by Ruth." So, the word for you today is--the best is yet to come. Your walk with Christ can produce fruit that blesses your children and your grandchildren for generations to come. Live in the present and enjoy every day God gives you, but always keep the long view in mind. It's not just about what God wants to do for you, but what He want to do through you that will bless others. God told Abraham, "I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing...And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed" (Genesis 12:2-3 NKJV). Claim that promise!
