Stand thou here by Me.
“Go say to them, Get you into your tents again. But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.”
Deuteronomy 5:30-31. (KJV).
God instructed you to teach all nations regarding Jesus. (Matthew 28:19).
You cannot teach something you do not know yourself.
Therefore, God said: “stand thou here by Me.”
You must first learn from God.
You must experience God.
You must be with God.
Others may return to their “tents.”
You, as the teacher of the Word, must Daily learn from God.
Every day, learn at the feet of Jesus. (Luke 24:45)
Then you can teach others what you learned and experienced.
Then you can teach others what God told you.
Do you want to be a teacher appointed by God?
Do you want to make a beneficial impact?
Stand by Him and learn from Him.
Application to the Christian life:
Give your life to Jesus.
Learn from Him and follow Him.
Take courage and teach your friends.

I will do everything you tell me.
“ She responded, “I will do everything you tell me.” She went down to the threshing floor and did everything as her mother-in-law had instructed her.” Ruth 3:5-6 (CJB)
The Key to the Breakthrough Ruth experienced was in the doing.
First, she listened attentively.
Next, she did everything she was told.
Are you listening?
Are you doing?
Are you listening and doing both at the right time?
Furthermore, Ruth was in the right place.
Yes, she was in the right place at the right time.
“When Yahweh delights in how you live your life, he establishes your every step.”Psalm 37:23 (TPT)
“A person’s steps are directed by the LORD, and the LORD delights in his way.” Psalm 37:23(GW)
God guided Ruth’s steps because her delight was in the Lord.
“Find your delight and true pleasure in Yahweh, and he will give you what you desire the most.” Psalm 37:4(TPT)
You and I have much more than Ruth had.
We have the Holy Spirit residing in us.
Ruth’s Godly and timely counsel came from her mother-in-law.
As a child of God, the Holy Spirit is speaking and guiding.
Are you listening to Him?
Are you doing what He tells you to do?
“But when the Father sends the Spirit of Holiness, the One like me who sets you free, he will teach you all things in my name. And he will inspire you to remember every word that I’ve told you.” John 14:26(TPT)
Make that quality decision today to allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you.
Resolve Completely to do what He tells you to do.
Do it promptly too.

What did Ruth see that Naomi did not initially see?
” And Naomi said, See, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law. And Ruth said, Urge me not to leave you or to turn back from following you; for where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people and your God my God.” Ruth 1:15-6.
Naomi, Ruth’s mother-in-law, had seen so many tragedies and failures that made her put limitations on what God can do and had resolved to just fold her hands in an all hope is lost attitude.
Ruth had inner convictions.
While Naomi was looking at the facts of life.
What we sometimes call empirical evidence.
Apparently, Naomi had knowledge of Yahweh that she and her late husband shared with their two sons from where Ruth as a wife to one of the sons, had a purposeful encounter with the God of destiny.
Ruth, in the text above, positively confessed that Naomi’s people shall be her people.
She knew inside of her that her journey to the purposeful fulfillment of her life destiny was in following Naomi to connect with her people.
She did not allow the incidents of the death of her father-in-law, her husband, and his brother to shake her off her God-given destiny.
How are we today allowing one or two incidents to derail our God-given destiny?
One experience of disappointment had made some people walk out of marriage, business, and personal relationships.
Yet precisely at the beginning, you know what God has explicitly told you about the relationship.
We quickly find offense with the church, pastor, or ministry where God has specifically assigned us to blossom and be fulfilled.
(Please check out this link on the Subject of “Blossoming Where You Are Planted.” https://sunday-class-school.com/blossom-where-you-are-planted/)
It could even be an idea that heaven has revealed that will prosper us, but two or three disappointments have made us abandon that dream.
To some, it might be the failure of an examination.
Has that made you given up on the career and profession altogether?
Today I want to remind you of the inner conviction of Ruth that made her stay true.
She believed, confessed, and acted on her purpose.
Her life today is linked with the lineage of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Many Christians today wrongly depend on social media to form opinions and make crucial life decisions that should be Bible-based.
Are you one of them?
Let God be your guide, search the scriptures and spend time in prayers.
Be like Ruth and stay true to your destiny, and do not limit yourself to life’s current circumstances like Naomi initially did.
