Ruth 4:12-13
"May your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, because of the offspring which the Lord will give you from this young woman." So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and when he went in to her, the Lord gave her conception, and she bore a son.
The Path to Fruitfulness
Fruitfulness doesn't just happen by chance. Some time ago, an agricultural school in Iowa reported that the production of 100 bushels of corn from one acre of land, in addition to the many hours of a farmer's labor, required four million gallons of water, 6,800 pounds of oxygen, 5,200 pounds of carbon, 160 pounds of nitrogen, 125 pounds of potassium, 75 pounds of yellow sulfur and other elements too numerous to list. It takes a lot of elements working together to produce fruitfulness.
Ruth discovered the same truth. Her life in Moab had been empty. The years of marriage with Naomi's son had been barren. But when she committed herself to the God of Israel, her life began to bear fruit. By faith she left her homeland and God gave her a new home. In simple trust she went out to the harvest fields, hoping to find someone who would allow her to glean after his reapers, and she found favor in the eyes of Boaz. Seeking to follow God's leading, she married Boaz and bore a son through whom the Messiah came to redeem the world. From a life of barrenness, God brought her, through faith, to great fruitfulness.
Faithfully trusting the Lord is still the only pathway to true fruitfulness. Jesus promised, "He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit." The world offers other options, but none result in lasting fruit. Only as we place our faith in Christ for daily guidance will we bear fruit for eternity.
Begin each day with reading God's Word. As He reveals His mind to you, faithfully obey everything you understand and ask for more wisdom when you don't. That's the way to bear fruit that will last forever.
Fruitfulness is the natural by-product of faithfulness.

"Give GOD Your best and LEAVE the Results to HIM!"
I, right now, am struggling with life in general. Anything from finances... to emotions/relationships. Sometimes I feel like nothing can ever be right. Some of these things I bring on myself and other seems to be completely out of my hands. I try not to get boggled down and let things bother me but it's never that easy. It's not easy to be happy or even pretend to be happy when the world is falling apart around you. I am in need of prayer and of guidance.
What are you struggling with at this very moment?

Take a look at the question and ask yourself with an open mind. Do you know what being used means? Being used means to be abused, mistreated, or put on the backburner, disgraced. But being usable means that you value yourself more than the labels of what society has placed on us as a people. You are beautiful, you are handsome, you are not ugly, you are not fat, you are a great mother, father, aunt, uncle, sister or brother. You are everything that you are designed to be. If you take a label and place it on your skin for an hour, see what kind of mark it leaves. Imagine every foul thing someone has ever said about you in this lifetime. Those are labels and we have allowed them to stick to us and wound us. But today is a new day, peel those labels off and identify every person, place or think that you are being used by and discard them or it from your life. Go ahead, you are worth it!
