During my Women of the Word cell group we hit on 'how to walk as a virtuous women before the Lord?' We searched the scriptures and came upon a certain woman with no special past. Her past was one of which she intends to forget. Her name is Ruth.
What made Ruth such a splendor in the eyes of God that He would make her name known through all the earth? Ruth was known as one with noble character; or in essence a high regard for moral behavior or self-discipline. What else made her this virtuous woman?
Ruth was a woman that worked diligent with her hands. (Proverbs 31:13)
Ruth was a woman that worked diligent with her hands. (Proverbs 31:13)
- She was a good steward over what she obtain
- She shared what she had possess with her widowed mother-in law Naomi (Ruth 2:7)
- She was teachable
- She had integrity
Ruth showed faithfulness and sincerity even though she was freed from any further obligations to her mother-in law; she pleaded to stay in her company (Ruth 1:8, 15-18)
She dedicated to follow no matter what and she did not give up. Ruth showed integrity by being a woman of her word, her fruits spoke for her (Ruth 3:5) and she knew how to humble herself under authority (become a love-slave)
Ruth sought wisdom, she was humble enough to seek wisdom
Ruth sought wisdom, she was humble enough to seek wisdom
- She took no though about what people would think about her.
- She was different but, yet her uniquesness shine through (Ruth 2:13)These qualities landed her favor in the sight of Boaz that he provided her needs and the needs of Naomi (Ruth 2:8-11)
This simple, ordinary woman who walk away from her pass to the unknown, moved from lack to more than enough because of her sacrifice of not looking back and letting her faith motivate her into her destiny (Ruth 2:!1) Ruth was very grateful. It was only the beginning yet Ruth was vey thankful for that which she had not knowing what would come of tomorrow. Ruth trusted in Naomi's GodShe did not fully know Him but, she moved into the known to the unknown. She was willing to walk away from the pains of the past.
Ruth found favor for her obedience/compassionated.

- She meet the person of need right where they are at
- She did not turn her back on Naomi, even when she (Naomi) gave up
- Even though Naomi was bitter Ruth interceded on her behalf and still did what was right
- She re-introduced Naomi to her own God
Ruth was full of courage and her loins were girded with strength
- She was bold enough to plea to provide for her own
- She took a chance when sleeping at Boaz feet, when women were not suppose to be where he laid his head
Ruth stayed on task
- She knew her assignment
- She fulfilled her plan
Just know your not a thing of the past, your not just like momma and 'em, your not what your husband, your family, your girlfriend's say you are, you are who God says you are, you are who God says you will be, say: " I will be willing to move into the destiny God has prepared for me. If it were not so He would of told me so." God says you can succeed, God says you are blessed, God says He knows the future He has for you. Only thing you have to do is just invite God to come into every blemished area of your life and cleanse it. And make every crooked path straight. You wil see He is willing.
Ruth was a woman with a destiny!!! Every time God wants change He uses a changed person. Not only was she changed but, because of her transformation. Destiny, history, tradition, and religion was changed and every plan the devil tried to hex fell to the ground. Ruth was a woman with noble character and like her if you choose today to be obedient and diligent to the things of God and let His kingdom shine in you. By allowing the key people in your life to guide you and instruct you and take heed.

You too may become a woman of destiny.
