Walk in a manner worthy of the Lord,
fully pleasing to Him and desiring to
please Him in all things.
Colossians 1:10
Here are the questions we will discuss in our second shoe Bible Study. Feel free to add your answers and comments to this blog!
Rain Boots and Ruth
When do you wear rain boots? Why do you wear rain boots?
Look at two things that rain boots (and Jesus) should do for us.
Ruth 1:6-21
1. Get us through the “muck” in life without making us dirty. -
What was going on in Ruth’s life at this time?
Who was her spiritual role model and how was she holding up?
What do you do when life is muddy?
What protects you from getting dirty during life’s difficult situations?
How are you as a role model to others? – Do you point them to God?
Ruth 2 1-15 *vs 13,
2. They do their job, and are not afraid to stand out.
Rain boots today have the craziest and fnciest of designs. It is hard not to notice someone who is wearing them. And if they wear them, you assume they have a job to do that requires hard work.
What does Ruth do to get herself a position in this new land?
Even though Ruth is different and stands out, what makes her accepted?
How does yours precede you?
Ruth 3-4
3. They make us feel protected and safe.
Rain boots allow us to walk places we might ordinarily stay away from. They offer us protection and safety. God does too.
What does Ruth attempt to gain by going to the threshing floor?
How does Boaz handle her request? – what does she do in the mean time?
(2:18) What are you doing as you wait on God?
How safe do you feel as you walk (live) in Christ?
Put on your rain boots and get going!
