In the story of Ruth and Boaz we find that as Ruth begins to spend time gleaning from the fields of Boaz, he comes to her and asks her to stay. He says, “Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens.”
Is this not what Christ asks of us? Does He not ask us to “abide” with His people? Does He not ask us to stay in His field and glean in no other? Other fields may often be tempting to visit or to stay a while and glean, but the rewards gleaned in the fields of the Lord are unsurpassed.
