I think about a young lady in the scripture, her name was Ruth, she had a very difficult life, her husband and brother in law were killed on the same day, in the battle. Ruth was upset, discouraged, didn’t look like she had much of a future. She moved into another country with her mother in law Naomi. Now she was a stranger in a foreign land. She was seen there as a 2nd class, they had no food, no money, everyday they would struggle to survive. Ruth could have easily got bitter, discouraged and think that life is not fair. This is so difficult. God why did this happen to me. But there was something different about Ruth. She knew, that God was still in control. There was still something great in her future, every morning Ruth would go out into the field, and pick up the left over wheat, that the reapers had missed. This is how she and Naomi survived, of the left over’s. It was a constant struggle. But one day the owner of that field, his name was Boaz, the wealthiest man in the area, noticed Ruth. He didn’t know much about her, but for some reason he had a desire to be good to her, he told his workers to leave a hand full of wheat on purpose for Ruth. The next morning when she went out, she had more wheat than she could handle, it wasn’t a struggle any more. I could imagine Naomi say Ruth, how did u get back so quickly today, and where did u get all this wheat. I don’t know, it was just lying in my path. I just stumbled across it. Ruth stepped in, into an anointing of ease. She began to get unusual blessings, favor, that she really didn’t have to work for, favor that she really didn’t deserve. Just like Ruth, God has left you hand full on purpose. He has already talked to your Boazes. He didn’t just meet Ruth’s needs, he made her life easier, he did more than she could ask or think, Boaz the man, who was in charge of it all, He and Ruth fell in love, he ended up getting married to her, and now instead of working in the field, Ruth owned the field. Now instead of getting the left over’s, she had someone getting her wheat. In other words, she had breakfast in bed. And you too, if you will stay in faith, just keep being your best each day, You’re going to come across your Unusual blessings 'Hand full on purpose'.
