Jesus, Your Restorer And Nourisher Of Your Life
Ruth 4:15
And may he be to you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age…
Famine impoverished the life of Naomi, an Israelite. But it was the deaths of her husband and two sons that left her completely destitute. (Ruth 1:1–5) Or so she thought, until Boaz, who was a wealthy and close relative, entered her life.
As her kinsman-redeemer, Boaz married Naomi’s widowed daughter-in-law. And through that union, Naomi had a grandson. The birth of her grandson gave her a new lease of life, causing the womenfolk in her village to declare that the restorer of life and the nourisher of her old age had come into her life. (Ruth 4:14–16)
Boaz is a picture of Jesus, our kinsman-redeemer. Jesus became our kinsman when He was born into this world as one like us. And He became our Redeemer when He paid with His life and blood at the cross to redeem us.
Jesus gave Himself to us as our restorer of life and nourisher of our old age. When the restorer of life is in our lives, what we have lost can be restored. (Joel 2:25−26) And with the nourisher of our old age in us, our bodies can be gloriously renewed even though we advance in our years.
That is why when Moses died at the age of 120, his eyes were not dim and his natural vigour was not diminished. (Deuteronomy 34:7) Caleb, at 85 years old, could still drive out the giants from their land. God had literally nourished his body and made it strong for war. (Joshua 14:11) Sarah was certainly rejuvenated in her old age by God for she was still desirable to a king at the age of 90. (Genesis 20:1–2) God even renewed her womb. She received strength to conceive seed (Hebrews 11:11), giving birth to Isaac in her old age.
Beloved, God is outside of time and your faith in Him brings you into this timeless zone. There, what the years have eaten away will be restored. And even as your years increase, you will not grow weak and weary because the restorer of life and nourisher of your old age is in you!
Beloved, God not only want to restore your years, God also want to restored all areas of your life. Jesus is able to restore it when you put all the areas of your life that are broken into His hand.
If the most precious blood of Jesus and His perfect finished work on cross will able to restore back our relationship with God completely. Surely, Jesus able to restore our broken relationship, our financial issues and others areas of problem.
So when problem (broken relationship, financial issues, etc) abound, much more grace and restoration that we can expected from Jesus to work through our life.
So are we going to purposely create problem so that there is more restoration and grace? Certainly not!! We want to get out of problem and the good news is Jesus is your solution.
Therefore, beloved, let go all that broken areas in your life to Jesus and in His everlasting love and His wisdom, Jesus will be able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us. (Ephesians 3:20).
Beloved, just let go to Jesus because Jesus is Your Restorer and Nourisher of Your Life. Amen.
