Under His Skirt (12 of 14)
Series: The Book of Ruth
Ken D. Trivette
Ruth 3:4-11
1. Many believers are quite content just to be saved and know that when they die heaven is their home. To them, salvation is no more than a passport to heaven and a fire escape from hell.

And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do. And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her."
2. Naomi instructs Ruth to go down to the threshingfloor where Boaz was threshing the barley. Symbolically, the threshingfloor reminds us of a truth that it is involved in a intimate relationship with Christ.
3. Customarily a threshingfloor was located on the top of a hill which was for the purpose of catching the ...
