Restoration Accomplished!

Application

One application is to say, “Here is a living example of the LORD’s purpose in Levirate Marriage.” Another application would be to say, “At that time, as well as for a great many years to come, no one but the LORD understood just how critical it was that this baby boy is born.”
Only the LORD knows the role each individual has in His plan for this world. Each one hearing this message already does have a role, the question becomes, “Will my attitude about, and relationship with, the LORD cause that role to bless others?”
Conclusion: Not one of us can predict the specific ways that the LORD plans for us to serve Him or the sphere of influence He will give to us as His servants. Each one of us must take the very next step by faith, and then the next step after that by faith, and so forth.

Bible Text

(13) So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife, and he went in to her. And the LORD enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son. (14) Then the women said to Naomi, “Blessed is the LORD who has not left you without a redeemer today, and may his name become famous in Israel. (15) May he also be to you a restorer of life and a sustainer of your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you and is better to you than seven sons, has given birth to him.” (16) Then Naomi took the child and laid him in her lap, and became his nurse. (17) The neighbor women gave him a name, saying, “A son has been born to Naomi!” So they named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

(18) Now these are the generations of Perez: to Perez was born Hezron, (19) and to Hezron was born Ram, and to Ram, Amminadab, (20) and to Amminadab was born Nahshon, and to Nahshon, Salmon, (21) and to Salmon was born Boaz, and to Boaz, Obed, (22) and to Obed was born Jesse, and to Jesse, David.
