THE FIELD OF BOAZ

At it again, but wait here's one for you.
read:
Ruth 2:5 Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?
6
And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab:

7 And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.

8 Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens:

9 Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.

10 Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?

11 And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been showed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore.

12 The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.

Did you see it?   Right there under our noses....Boaz told Ruth to stay right there in his field (barley field), and NOT TO GO TO ANOTHER FIELD!   She is to glean in the barley field of Boaz, because the other fields have WHEAT in them, full of tares.  Boaz tells her she will be "rewarded" for her work, by the Lord Himself.   "Study to show yourself APPROVED unto God, a WORKMAN, rightly dividing the Word of Truth...."    Ruth was told to stay "fast" by his maidens in the barley field....meaning closely, carefully guarding her portion of the field she was in...., and that the young men were to protect her and not bother her, in fact they were to leave bundles on purpose for her to find.
      Doesn't our marvelous Lord do that for us?   He tells His servants to leave bundles for us to find.    Notice, she was also given directions on where to go for the "water" when she was "athirst"...that water of life  that washes us in His word........
