📖 TODAY'S BIBLE READING Saturday, August 22 📜 OLD TESTAMENT RUTH 2 — Ruth Meets Boaz ✝️ NEW TESTAMENT 1 JOHN 4 — God Is Love 🌿 MAJOR PROPHETS ISAIAH 33 — The Lord Is Our Judge and King 🌿 Today's Reflection 📜 Ruth 2 Ruth goes out to glean in the fields and is providentially brought to Boaz, a man of kindness and integrity. Her humility and diligence, together with Boaz's generosity, remind us that God can guide our steps even when we cannot see what He is doing. ✝️ 1 John 4 John teaches that God is love and that those who belong to God should demonstrate that love toward others. We are also called to discern what is true and remain grounded in the truth about Jesus Christ. 🌿 Isaiah 33 Isaiah points God's people toward the Lord as their ultimate security. When human strength fails, God remains our Judge, Lawgiver, King, and Savior. ✨ KEY VERSE “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” — 1 John 4:8 🙏 PRAYER Heavenly Father, thank You for Your unfailing love. Help us to recognize Your guidance even when we cannot see the full picture. Give us hearts that love others sincerely, wisdom to discern truth from error, and confidence to depend on You as our King and Savior. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen. WE STUDY. WE PRAY. WE OBEY. WE GROW. UNTIL WE ARE TOTALLY TRANSFORMED. 📖✨🙏 🌿 TODAY'S CHALLENGE Show God's love through a deliberate act of kindness today.
