Responsible Ruth (Example of Ruth Part 2)

Paragraph reading: Ruth 2:18 (BIS)

=====================

"Then she returned to the city by bringing the results of that collection are the mother-in-law and to show how much has picked up. And she also gave to her mother-it can not be spent on food at mealtimes."

When a leader approaching the end positions in the institutions, agencies and others will normally be required accountability reports. This is an obligation from the concerned to report all activities, achievements or records during tenure. There are many busy people accumulate wealth when he was served something, there is also a waste of time wasted without any achievement. And those will be at a loss when approached as to provide accountability. Various mark-up, fictitious reports and so became a shortcut to survive the trial.
Instead the people who work earnestly with the full responsibilities in undertaking the course will not feel bothered when asked for the accountability report. One thing is for sure, in every aspect of life we are required to be responsible. In fact, we shall also be accountable all the deeds and our words. We will be at a loss when faced with judgments of the Lord when the time comes when we are not accustomed to doing things with a full sense of responsibility.

After seeing some of the quality of Ruth's two days away yesterday, let's see something else that we can learn from the attitude of his life. In addition to modest, simple and earnest, and is also loyal, Ruth is also a responsible person.

Naomi Ruth faithfully follow the law, into the territory of Israel who are not usually friendly to the settlers of Moab, their old enemies. These are things that would be difficult to be endured. Moreover, Naomi came home in a state does not have anything. As an immigrant from Moab, what can be done there, Ruth? Some people may only stay at home. Why bother, after all I've sacrificed myself to stay with my in-laws for the rest of her life? Perhaps it will be thought that came to mind when most people are on the side of Ruth. But Ruth does not think like that. Despite its status as a stranger in Bethlehem, Ruth was willing to take the initiative to work in order to fulfill her life living and Naomi's in-laws. Ruth was well aware how the conditions in-law who are elderly. She was young and strong, of course she has to work. And we can see that Ruth actually take responsibility for the work.

What does Ruth is a job belonging to the lowest at that time, namely picking up the fall when the barley-scytheman scytheman harvesting farm. Although the job, including the lowest, but is based on a sense of responsibility to make Ruth would have done it all without complaining or feeling forced. She chose not to lament her fate but to use energy and ideas to do the job as good as possible. She took over the responsibilities so that Naomi can eat and fulfilled their needs. Look at how Ruth worked hard for it, then bring home the results to be shared. "HSh made it, and went into the city. When-in-law saw what was picked up, and when the release and gave the rest of the existing law after it was full .." (Ruth 2:18) or in the version of the BIS, we can see more clearly: "Then she returned to the city by bringing the results of that collection are the mother-in-law and to show how much has picked up. And she also gave food to the mother-in-law who can no time spent on eating. " That picture made Ruth responsibility, a responsibility which is run with all her heart.

What about us today? Have we had this kind of responsibility towards our families? Have we take full responsibility for our wife, children and parents, or we were too busy throwing responsibilities in various facets of life? Have we fully responsible for the work or we are still busy looking for cracks to avoid our responsibilities? When God has given talents to us, can we account for? (Read the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25:14-30). Peter reminds us to always be ready to provide accountability to anyone who asks. "But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts: and be ready Be willing at all times to give an answer to every man who asks you for the answers to the hope that is you, but must be gently and respectfully and with good conscience .. " (1 Peter 3:15-16). That means we must always be ready to do all that we do wholeheartedly and sincerely. Every time we requested to be ready to provide accountability, and do not forget we will be ready to provide this when facing the throne of God's judgments. In Romans we read this:

"So every one of us will give account of himself to God." (Romans 14:12).

For the life of Christianity, the responsibility is of great importance, both in family, work, businesses, services, even in all aspects of our lives which will be opened by us before God. That's why we asked to do the best with all your heart's not like for others but as to the Lord. (Colossians 3:23). Have a responsible attitude full of like Ruth. Do not waste any more time, start from now.
