Speak to Your Mountains
Feb 17, 2017
And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the
field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And
she said unto her, Go, my daughter. (Ruth 2:2-KJV)
I found myself in the book of Ruth, a book that I’ve read quite a
few times already. My mind was thinking, Why am I here again, I’ve already read
this. I was led to chapter 2 verse 2 specifically. I couldn’t get it out of my
mind the entire day. Only later did I realize that God kept emphasizing that
Ruth boldly spoke that she would go into Boaz’s field, and she would find
grace in his sight, and Naomi encouraged her. Ruth didn’t question
whether Boaz would accept her to enter his field. The King James Version, says Let
me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I
shall find grace. She boldly declared that she would find
favour, and she went.
This reminds me why we ought to come boldly, with authority to the throne of grace, and speak that which we want to see fulfilled. Our words are spirit and life. When we find ourselves in particular seasons, face-to-face with challenges, our words should be that of victory spoken in the authority of Christ. It doesn’t help to build mountains that we will need to move again.

Moreover, as Ruth worked in the field, Boaz spotted her, inquired of her,
and extended to her grace. He told her not to go glean in another field but to stay
close to where the other women were; he extended a hedge of protection on her
from the ardor of other men. Additionally, if she were in need of water,
refreshment or rest, it was available to her (Ruth 2:3,8-9). That’s grace!
The lesson I take from this is that, wherever you are, and
whatever you have been entrusted to do, speak life, speak victory, let the
words of your mouth command the blessings of God so that God will grace you
with those blessings as you are faithfully gleaning the field. That thing
that you want is right in front of you. Don’t do yourself a disservice by
speaking words of doubt, destruction or death. Speak life and let God honour
you; you may end up not having to work all fields, but only need to work one,
and in that one, you will get a lot of perks you never thought possible.
Just as Jesus assured his disciples that if they have faith, and do not doubt, they can say to the mountain "be you cast into the sea" and it will be done (Matthew 21:21) you can speak to the mountains in your life, and see your circumstances change.
