Sermon Notes : The One Who Seeks…Finds!

• Ruth 1:19-22; 2:1-12
• Her identity is not being spoken not by God, but by her experiences.
• NOW!
• Isn’t it nice to have someone strong on your side?
• You don’t always know that it was God that put a delay in your life so that you didn’t get too it too soon.
• We call it coincidence. (This is God in a costume.)
• She came and remained.
• The one who seeks, finds.
• You are grown enough to glean the part of the message that is for you from God.
• Make sure you don’t leave the part of the message that is for you because you don’t like it.
• Going back to Bethlehem should be a happy moment.
• The bread is back.
• Gleaning in the grieving.
• They brought the bitterness to Bethlehem.
• We think we will feel better, then know that we have been blessed.
• The biggest blessing of your life might come at the worst time.
• Are you good at gleaning?
• How good are you at taking a regret in your life and framing it as a lesson?
• You cannot let the grief overtake the gleaning.
• There is still something left on and in your life.
• We are grumpy, gripe-y and ridiculous.
• We make our own schedules.
• A lot of times our stress comes from blessings we prayed for.
• Sometimes you can know too much.
• The mind on a mission.
• Bitter is not a personality type, it’s a decision.
• Are you good at gleaning things to be anxious about?
• When you put your mind on a mission to find misery, the devil will help you look.
• Ruth didn’t only think of herself, because she went out and remained in a field, here comes Boaz.
• Boaz noticed Ruth before she noticed him.
• Do we seek the wrong things?
• As you go through the field of your life, you have to be very careful and selective about what you pick up.
• We complain about what we scroll to.
• Are you looking for something to be mad about?
• The devil will help me collect the evidence.
• Favor is in the field.
• Ruth’s responsibility positioned her for God’s favor.
• We pray for stuff, and don’t pick through anything.
• Matthew 7:7-11
• What are you looking for?
• Put yourself in a place of the last thing God asked you to do.
• God will find you in the wrong field.
• The eyes of the Lord have never been blind to your cries.
• There is treasure in your field.
