Week 2 Day 4; Work

Wow, what a work ethic. Ruth...the new girl on the block, set quite a precedence for those around her. I can just hear it now, "Those Moabite women really put in a good day's work" or "Those Moabite girls sure wake up and get after-it early." Most often, we still put people into category's or clans. For example, we might lump them together with the family name (The Wray's) or their nationality/region (those people from Arkansas), gender and age (older women), and even faith (Christians, Jew, etc). Sometimes, our ethics don't just reflect who we are but they can also reflect our affiliations. What does your work ethic reflect?

Whatever your hand find to do, verily , do it with all your might.... Ecclesiastes 9:10

What do your work ethics says about you, about your integrity, your God? Do you put your all into what you do, does the way you dress, talk (do you gossip and complain or do you bring joyful energy into the conversation?). Whatever you do, do it as unto the Lord!

If Christ lives in us, what image are we bearing about Christ and the body of Christ? Has my image protrayed a woman with integrity or a slothful image? Do I make the body of Christ look like a body of busy bodies, gossipers, lazy, always looking for the easy way out or do I bring in a beautiful aroma of the Savior?

I sure learned a lot in these few verses. Something the author didn't mention was the attitude of Boaz. The first greeting was to the workers, not the just the foreman. His greeting was a prayer for God's blessings. Wow, wouldn't that be a greeting to receive when meeting the boss!

What did today's lesson say to you? I'd love to hear it!
