Quarter 2: Week 7: Tuesday: Ruth 4:1-22:

                 Quarter 2: Week 7: Tuesday: Ruth 4:1-22:
                         Boaz gather the elderly and tells them that Naomi is back and selling relatives land. One man offers to buy it, but Boaz also says with the land comes Ruth. The man said no, and that he, Boaz, should buy it. The earlier way to make transitions final, back then, was to take your sandal off, and give it to the other person. The said for him to buy it himself and he took his sandals off. Boaz tells the elders they are all witnesses to him buying the land from Naomi, and to have the responsibility of Ruth. Then all the elderly and people at the gate agreed to be witness. So Boaz and Ruth married, and the Lord blessed them with a bundle of joy, aka a baby. He was a son, and they named him Obed. Obed was the father of Jesse, who was the father of David. A future reason for obeying God is so He can clear your future. If you don't go along with what God says, He won't be able to do much with your life. If I obey God, read my Bible, praise Him, and give my future to Him, then He can do something with my life.
