Went through the book of Ruth today.
Naomi has some tips on getting a man for the ladies:
"3:3 Wash, put on perfume, and get dressed in your best clothes. Then go down to the threshing floor, but don’t let him know you are there until he has finished eating and drinking. 4 When he lies down, note the place where he is lying. Then go and uncover his feet and lie down. He will tell you what to do.”
Applicational principles:
1. Take a shower. LOL
2. Put on some Ruth #5
3. Get dolled up.
4. I don't know how to contextualize "threshing floor." LOL
5. Make sure the dude has eaten and got his drink on.
6. I will leave v4 alone.
LOL.
A woman of God went through a year of beauty treatment to win a Beauty Queen Contest and saved The People of God for such a time she was in!
Esther 2:7 He was bringing up Hadassah, that is Esther, the daughter of his uncle, for she had neither father nor mother. THE YOUNG WOMAN HAD A BEAUTIFUL FIGURE AND WAS LOVELY TO LOOK AT, and when her father and her mother died, Mordecai took her as his own daughter.
10 Esther had not revealed her nationality and family background, because Mordecai had forbidden her to do so. 11 Every day he walked back and forth near the courtyard of the harem to find out how Esther was and what was happening to her.
12 Now when the turn came for each young woman to go in to King Ahasuerus, after being twelve months under the regulations for the women, since this was the regular period of their beautifying, six months with oil of myrrh and six months with spices and ointments for women— 13 when the young woman went in to the king in this way, she was given whatever she desired to take with her from the harem to the king's palace. 14 In the evening she would go there and in the morning return to another part of the harem to the care of Shaashgaz, the king’s eunuch who was in charge of the concubines. She would not return to the king unless he was pleased with her and summoned her by name.
15 When the turn came for Esther (the young woman Mordecai had adopted, the daughter of his uncle Abihail) to go to the king, she asked for nothing other than what Hegai, the king’s eunuch who was in charge of the harem, suggested. And Esther won the favor of everyone who saw her. 16 She was taken to King Xerxes in the royal residence in the tenth month, the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
17 Now the king was attracted to Esther more than to any of the other women, and she won his favor and approval more than any of the other virgins. So he set a royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti. 18 And the king gave a great banquet, Esther’s banquet, for all his nobles and officials. He proclaimed a holiday throughout the provinces and distributed gifts with royal liberality.
TAKE AWAYS:
v7 Get your figure on. Work-out
v9 Get your Beauty treatment on and nutritious food.
BABYLON THE GREAT, MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES was UNBELIEVING 1st Century Israel who spilled the blood of the saints and murdered the sinless, Prince of Peace, and Holy Son of God. The Bible calls Israel a harlot, adulterer, prostitute about 100 times!
