Moments Of Life


So she went down to the threshing floor and did just as her mother-in-law had commanded her. And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. Then she came softly and uncovered his feet and lay down.
Ruth 3:6-7 (ESV)

It was dark, her presence was unexpected, and her actions demonstrated a vulnerability that few would like to admit, much less show. Boaz could have called her out on such an action, could have abused her throughout the night, or could have made an example of her. But he did not.
Life comprises a series of moments built upon each other, just as a mason lays one brick upon another until the walls are completed. Each brick depends upon the previous brick, and when all are laid correctly, the wall stands firm throughout the ages.

Ruth had been living the moments of life in a way that each moment was laid correctly in anticipation of one day finishing the walls of her life and then enjoying the strength and stability that come from such diligence.
