Lay It on Me

G ETTING O UT OF THE C ORNER / 69

dwelt with her mother-in-law (Ruth 2:23). Don't jump from assignment to assignment. Don't go from church to church, attempting to find the perfect pastor. Don't run from ministry to ministry, looking for your blessing. Where has God planted you? Where does the anointing flow the best? More money or a better position is not always God's will. It is imperative to be in the right place at the right time! Seeing the potential for increase, Ruth refused to move to another field where she would have had to return to gleaning in a corner. In Boaz's field, she was seeing progression and favor from the head man. She was moving toward her destiny and must have sensed that something good was in the works. Still, she knew it would require time. She knew she had to wait in order to see total fulfillment. Do you have the fortitude to wait on the Lord? If you feel called to preach, don't quit your job, leave home and believe God will open some mysterious door! God will open the right door when the time is right. Do what you are supposed to do until the appointed time. Christ has the key of David and can open and close any door He desires (Revelation 3:8). Ruth was about to walk through the greatest door of her life!
