Ruth on the Ground: 4 Reflections from Her “Why-Me?” Moment

February 3, 2021 By JenMcCaman

Ruth’s “why-me?” response echoes through the heart and life of all who have been changed by Christ. When we look at our lives, we’re overwhelmed by the breathtaking mercy of God. We were a people under the curse of sin, destined for hell. But God who is rich in mercy made us alive with Christ while we were still sinners! He pulled us out of death and set us in his kingdom. Ephesians 1 says he “chose us in him before the foundation of the world.” Such knowledge compels us to cry to our father as Ruth cried to Boaz: “Why have I found favor in your eyes that you should take notice of me?”

Meet-halfway Love is kind. It’s generous. It involves compromise. Neither party feels taken advantage of. It’s the sort of love we can wrap our minds around. The problem is this is NOT the love of Christ.

My Father in Famine

January 11, 2021 By JenMcCaman

We don’t have to look far to see famine in our land today. We are a spiritually impoverished nation. We look to worldly leaders and influencers, but like the judges of Ruth, they are powerless to nourish us. We turn inward to try to help ourselves, save ourselves, love ourselves but find we are not the source of anything. There is only one who is able to feed us in famine, and not just feed us but flourish us.

We’re on Our Knees. Rise Up, O Judge of the Earth.

Our God sees every single act of injustice. He hears every single word of hate. All of it will be paid for. Not one tiny sin will escape punishment. The wages of every sin is death and death will be paid. It will either be paid for by Jesus on the cross or by the wicked for all eternity. He holds it all. He also sees it all.
