Ruth 3:1-18
Being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold (
<http://links.rbcministries.mkt6605.com/ctt?kn=25&ms=Mjc1MjU1NzgS1&r=ODIwMzQzMDkxMzQS1&b=0&j=OTYxOTE5MTY5S0&mt=1&rt=0>
Proverbs 22:1).

When we considered remodeling our basement, our neighbors all recommended the
same person for the job—Tony. He’s an experienced carpenter who shows up every
day, delivers more than he promises, and finishes what he starts. People trust
this handyman enough to give him their house keys and many let him keep the
keys after he finishes the job. When they have a home repair project, they
simply contact Tony and he comes over, lets himself in, and goes to work.

Ruth also enjoyed an excellent reputation in Bethlehem. Born in Moab, she
followed her mother-in-law, Naomi, to Israel after both of their husbands died.
There she met Boaz, a well-connected landowner who valued her character. When
he proposed marriage, he said, “Everyone in town knows you are a virtuous
woman” (

Ruth 3:11).

Ruth’s virtue was due partly to her work ethic. She diligently foraged local
fields for leftover grain to provide for herself and Naomi. A foreman noticed
that Ruth remained “hard at work . . . except for a few minutes’ rest in the
shelter” (

Ruth 2:7). When the barley harvest ended, Ruth continued to work by gleaning
wheat in early summer (

Ruth 2:23).

Ruth’s character was revealed in her humility, obedience, and respect for her
mother-in-law. Instead of looking for a husband her own age, she allowed Naomi
to choose for her (

Ruth 3:3-5). She let Boaz know she was available for marriage, and Boaz
carefully protected Ruth’s reputation in the way he responded (

Ruth 3:9,14).

Proverbs 22:1 says, “Being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold.”
May God work in and through us to produce a character and reputation that
honors Him and reflects this beautiful name: Jesus. —Jennifer Benson Schuldt

Hebrews 11:39 to see what produces a good reputation in God’s eyes.

NEXT: Is it possible to have a good standing in the world while disappointing
God? Why or why not? When you consider your reputation, what might you change
to better reflect Jesus to others?
