“And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman.” - Ruth 2v11
What a wonderful testimony Ruth had! When she came to Boaz to propose marriage to him she did so in a totally appropriate manner according to the custom of her time. Boaz accepted her proposal and said “All the people of my city know that you are a virtuous woman.”
Ruth was a stranger in the land. In the short time she had been there she had become known to the entire city as a virtuous woman. He public testimony was important and superlative.
How important is our testimony to us? How are we known to the people of our city? Are we known as virtuous men and women? Let us live our lives in such a way that we are always known as virtuous people. May the Lord use that testimony to draw other to Him.
