Take a moment to look around. Where are you? What do you see?
Sometimes, when we look around, we are unable to see the ongoing work of our God. We cannot see ourselves and our location as part of the unfolding work of God.
Take, for example, the fields where shepherds were keeping watch over their flock at night. They were visited by an angel who then proclaimed the most wonderful news. (Luke 2) If nothing else had happened there, these fields would be Holy Ground.
But generations before the shepherds arrived, there was a young widow working in these same fields. (Ruth 2) Ruth struggled to provide food for herself and for her widowed mother-in-law. So, after the reapers had cleared the field, Ruth was among the people who picked up the scraps that remained. The landowner noticed Ruth's hardship and her generosity for her mother-in-law. Boaz, a distant relative of Ruth's late husband, was charmed by this extraordinary young woman.
The stories of the shepherds and of Ruth have themes and lessons that are true today.
