Just then Boaz arrived from Bethlehem and greeted the harvesters, ‘The LORD be with you!’ ‘The LORD bless you!’ they answered. Boaz asked the overseer of his harvesters, ‘Who does that young woman belong to?’ The overseer replied, ‘She is the Moabite who came back from Moab with Naomi. She said, “Please let me glean and gather among the sheaves behind the harvesters.” She came into the field and has remained here from morning till now, except for a short rest in the shelter.’ So Boaz said to Ruth, ‘My daughter, listen to me. Don’t go and glean in another field and don’t go away from here. Stay here with the women who work for me. Watch the field where the men are harvesting, and follow along after the women. I have told the men not to lay a hand on you. And whenever you are thirsty, go and get a drink from the water jars the men have filled.’

What do you do when your dreams don’t manifest? Do you forfeit your dreams? In this Bible plan, Dr. Foster encourages you to trust your heart to God and Dream Again! God, your Creator, has designed you to succeed in His plans for your life. So, sow your trust in Him and expectantly prepare for bountiful harvests of fulfillment. God is faithful!
Beloved Child of God, do you doubt despite wanting to trust God in troubling times? If so, this plan's for you. Why? Because surrendered confidence enables stolen joy. Naomi, a major figure in the book of Ruth, felt forsaken by God and empty after her husband’s and sons’ deaths. Spoiler alert: she was wrong! God’s grace prevailed, denouncing Naomi’s situational awareness and asking, "Who Told You That You Were Empty?”
Who said you can’t flourish in hard times? Not the Bible! Why? Because God expects His children to trust Him as their Provider and Caregiver. Over 3,000 years ago, Ruth, a widowed Moabite refugee, experienced God’s miraculous provision of home and engrafting into the Messianic line. A shining example of how to overcome extreme difficulty, I believe Ruth’s encouragement in our hard times is one decision: “Flourish!”
Child of God, Your Heavenly Father has designed you to succeed in fulfilling His purposes for your life. Are you facing situations defiant of God’s faithful love and good plans for you? If so, remember who you are and refuse to let adverse circumstances rename you! God calls and equips His children to be overcomers. Walk with Naomi in this Bible plan and rediscover the overcomer in you.
