Elder Chris Crouse – Practical Sanctification
Elder Chris reflects on Naomi’s specific instructions to Ruth about how to approach Boaz. Naomi tells Ruth to wash, anoint herself, put on her best clothes, and go down to the threshing floor. Elder Chris explains that we should not approach the Lord with the intent of drawing attention to ourselves, but rather humbly and with Him as the focus. Just as Naomi wisely guides Ruth to prepare herself for close communion, we are to prepare ourselves each day in the way we live.
