S - Ruth 3:11 Now don’t worry about a thing, my daughter. I will do what is necessary, for everyone in town knows you are a virtuous woman.
O - Boaz is talking to Ruth here and explaining what he will do to redeem her and become her husband. He reassures here that everything will be ok and that he will do what is necessary to protect her. He is confident that it will be ok since she is a virtuous woman. The way that she lived her life must have given such a air about her that no one had any question of what she did was right.
A - Am I living a virtuous life? Does anyone question whether what I do is right or good or full of virtue? I need to ensure that my life screams virtuous. I need to do this first, and foremost, for God. He has done so much for me. The least I can do for Him is to live a virtuous life in which people see a person that lives different than others which may lead them to question what I have in my life that they may not. Secondly, I need to live a virtuous life for my wife. I need her to look at me with love and respect and living a life that she never has to question whether I'm virtuous or not will only help her be able to easier. Thirdly, I need to live my life like that as a Godly example for my children. This example will then become the measuring stick and guideline that they will live their life according to. And finally, I need to live my life virtuously for my business, my community and my church. I need to be a man that others around me can look to as a leader and a man that can always be counted on to do the right thing and to work hard and smart.
P - God, I come to you this morning with praise and thanksgiving. I praise you for your goodness and your greatness! I thank you for all that you have done and sacrificed for me. I thank you for my amazing wife and children. Help me to be a husband and father that they are proud of and want to be around. Help me provide and protect them and show them what it truly means to be a Christian. Guide me and my words, thoughts, and actions today and everyday and bless all that I put my mind and actions to today.
