Trusting the Provider
Have you ever been asked to step out in obedience to the Father and then found that things didn't exactly go according to your plan? Have you found it difficult to trust Him in these times? God knows our needs and promises to provide "according to His glorious riches" - but He also asks for our faith and trust in these times. He is working out His perfect plan. Are we willing to trust Him to do it?

INTRODUCTION: Today’s Topic: Faith. Today’s Passage in Context (adapted from the ESV Study Bible): --> Some Themes found in 1 Kings [the LORD “Yahweh” is the only true God, the only One worthy to be worshipped, Who judges those who worship false gods, and Who is also just, gracious, and faithful to His promises]; --> Some Highlights of 1 Kings 17-22 [God is working miracles thru the prophet Elijah (including a drought, supernatural provisions for daily life, raising the dead, and answering by fire) to show all Israel that the false gods of Baal (and all other false gods) are not true gods. Only the LORD, the God of Israel, is God, He alone has power over life & death, and He will judge the house of the evil King Ahab for his wickedness (yet God is still merciful and deals graciously with Ahab after he humbles himself)]. LIVING BY FAITH FOR THE LORD: --> Thru Revelation: with a God-Centered Perspective & Purpose (v1); --> Thru Obedience: to God’s Word & His Call on Our Lives (vs2-5, 10); --> Thru Trust: in God’s Provisions (of Supernatural & Ordinary means) (vs6-10). LIVING BY FAITH THRU OVERWHELMING TRIALS: --> When all Hope is Gone (vs8-12); In Spite of our Fears (v13); --> By Giving our All to Jesus vs13-15; --> By Experiencing God thru Obedience (vs15-16); --> By Persevering unto Maturity (vs17-24).

Ruth 3 - Proactive Righteousness
When we think about what it means to be righteous – we tend to think it means we don’t do bad things. We don’t cuss, don’t chew, don’t go with girls that do – righteousness = good behavior. Now the problem with this is that we only have half of the equation when it comes to “behaviorâ€. Righteous behavior involves more than not doing the wrong thing, it also involves doing the right thing. As we will see in Ruth 3 Naomi, Ruth and Boaz DO things and DO NOT do things for righteousness’ sake. And we are going to be challenged to look at righteousness a bit differently - to see that it is not merely avoiding sin, but actively seeking the well-being of others.
