Better Than Seven Sons

May 9, 2020, Saturday-#221- Daily Bible Reading and Meditation- Old Testament Ruth 4 KJV

***[15] And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him. ***

[13] So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the Lord gave her conception, and she bare a son.

[14] And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the Lord, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.

[15] And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him.

Words to ponder for today:
Better Than Seven Sons

She is Ruth: The Mobitish woman. The daughter- in - law of Naomi, whom the women of Israel blessed Naomi, for having her, not only as a daughter-in-law, but a daughter who is“better to her than seven sons”.
Such a great and wonderful thoughts to ponder; that a stranger woman was engrafted to be The LORD’s channel of blessing; to whose seed will come the restorer of life and a nourisher of Naomi’s old age.
The typology of GOD’s Son JESUS CHRIST who was born in the lineage of King David, Obed’s grandson.

Such a great inspiration for each of us women; to all mothers, to raise a son; as how Ruth raised her son Obed, the father of Jesse, the father of the great king David; whom GOD’s apple of His eyes.

As we are celebrating mothers’ day today, for the young mothers who are still on their days, raising their little ones. You can set a goal to raise up a godly righteous man by following the footsteps of these great character in the King James Bible; as how Boaz was raised by his mother Rahab: the harlot.
Whose son Boaz became a godly, wealthy, righteous and compassionate man, who mind not to take Ruth, the moabitish widow to be his dearly beloved wife. Seeing her as a virtuous woman, to whom he gave his name; whom GOD tremendously blessed him by giving her the fruit of her womb Obed.
And to the elderly women; a mother- in-law, grand mothers, and mentors, do not get tired of living a godly, orderly life; for The LORD GOD, who sees, who hears and answer prayers, watches and will remember our sacrifices.
Let reading and learning from the bible be a part of our life; for it is the source of all the good success in this life.
Let us all mothers enjoy the blessings as GOD recompense  our unwavering faith, hope and  charity we extended to others, especially to the younger mother, to whom we can impart golden rules of faith as we keep on reading, pondering and meditating the words of GOD.

Have a blessed mother day to all today!

Good morning!



Ruth 4:1-22 KJV
[1] Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down. [2] And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down. [3] And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's: [4] And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it : but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it. [5] Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. [6] And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it. [7] Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was a testimony in Israel. [8] Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe. [9] And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi. [10] Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day. [11] And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The Lord make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Beth-lehem: [12] And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of this young woman. [13] So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the Lord gave her conception, and she bare a son. [14] And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the Lord, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel. [15] And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him. [16] And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it. [17] And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David. [18] Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron, [19] And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab, [20] And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon, [21] And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed, [22] And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
