DAILY MANNA FOR TODAY
Reports and track records play a vital role in determining access to opportunities. A good record often opens doors that credentials alone cannot. When professional recruiters seek candidates for positions of responsibility, they go beyond well-prepared résumés.
They investigate past conduct, seek references, and even examine digital footprints to form an informed judgment.
In today’s text, when Boaz said to Ruth, “It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother-in-law…” he was referring to her reputation and track record. Ruth’s faithfulness, commitment, and sacrifice had spoken loudly on her behalf even before she met Boaz.
These reports endeared her to him, prompting his kindness, protection, and generosity. He permitted her to glean among his reapers and instructed them to treat her favourably. Overwhelmed by this grace, Ruth humbly bowed before him.
Boaz’s response further reflected godly character as he prayed, “The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.”
This passage highlights the blessing of maintaining a good report. Scripture affirms this truth elsewhere. In 3 John 1:12, Demetrius was commended as having “a good report of all men, and of the truth itself.”
Similarly, a good reputation was made a prerequisite for leadership in the early church: “Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil” (1 Timothy 3:7).
Believers are therefore urged to live by the standard of “whatsoever things are of good report.” Tabitha, for example, was described as “full of good works and almsdeeds.”
Every life produces records—either good or bad. How conscious are you of the report your life is generating? When we allow God’s grace to work in us, we become vessels of good works and integrity, earning godly reputations that glorify Him.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
God keeps records about you—and so do men. What do they say?
