Truth from Ruth

Currently at the MC, we're rocking through the book of Ruth. Each sunday Pastor Ken asks an epic question that he pulls out of the chapter. What I've loved about Ken since he arrived is that we've been going through books of the Bible that the normal Christian won't pick up and read themselves. I mean, Judges? Ruth? Who even reads those? I'm happy to be at a church where the pastor believes in going beyond the 4 step process of how to be a good husband/wife or tries to make us all beleive the same theology or gives us pointers on how to raise our children. So yesterdays sermon came from Ruth chapter 2 and the big question was "Will God provide for my needs?" You can probably guess that the answer is yes, obviously. Obviously I'm thankful for family, friends, a job, and those awesome sugar cookies in my kitchen because they are the bomb. But to see God's provision is to realize what our soul is in need of. It's to think a little bit past just the things we're really glad God gave us. Ken tied it all together real nicely when he asked, "what do we REALLY need?" Once you think about what you really need, you start to see what God has done to provide it. Truth is my need goes beyond food or another paycheck or a better job or any relationship. My true need is for a savior, because I'm a sinner. And that's exactly what God provided in a way that still blows my mind. Props to Pastor Ken for bringing the word hardcore style.
