The Sleeping Husband

Saturday, June 24, 2023

Ruth goes down to the threshing floor and waits for Boaz to fall asleep. She then lays down at his feet. Boaz wakes up to "behold a woman!" The same thing happened when Adam was sleeping, "Behold the woman!" With Boaz and Adam, this happened before they got married. But with most men, it's after they're married. Boaz was sleeping and didn't notice her. Husbands often fall asleep to their wives, getting used to them, taking them for granted, forgetting to behold the wonder of the other person, getting wrapped up in media or careers or a million other things. Learn from Boaz, it's time to wake up. This isn't just for husbands. We all tend to take for granted the people who are closest and most precious to us. You only have a limited time to love them. Wake up to the treasures God has given you, behold them. Husbands, it's time for you to see the gift you were given to love and cherish. It's time for you to wake up, look at that person who's been with you all this time and say, Behold, a woman!
