Restorer and Sustainer from a Noname Moabite

[S] Ruth 4:15 --
15 May he also be to you a restorer of life and a sustainer of your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you and is better to you than seven sons, has given birth to him."
[O] There were words from the women of Naomi's town praising and almost prophesying because of how faithful Ruth had committed to Naomi and her people.  Obed's grandson indeed lived up to this well wishes and further down the lineage, Jesus did restore and sustained everyone's lives let alone Naomi's.  Rush was a good person, but more than her goodness, her faithfulness to God of heaven and her people is what made her the instrument God used to bring forth His Savior.

[A] Who would have known Ruth, a no-name Moabite woman, would take part in God's plan of salvation, physically?  Likewise, who would know a no-name Korean-American family will take part in God's plan for grace for this generation of people?  No one.  But despite the outcome, me and my family will commit to the Lord and His leadership because we want to make ourselves available to be in His plan.

[P] Dear Father, we love you and we desire to be right in the middle of Your wonderful plan of grace for this generation of people.  Let this small request be answered by Your mighty power.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
