"There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed." (Psalms 132:17)
I guess you could say, it is all about being in and staying in the right place: Abiding in Christ! What a difference a little perspective makes on the will of God, because with God, there are absolutely no mistakes; what God does, He does with purpose, and there is nothing that we can do, He has not prepared for or made allowance for, or even turned it into something ordained and anointed. If that does not prove that God is in control, I really don't know how else to explain it. When I was starting that massage on the Book of Ruth, originally I was going to title it, "Meet David's Grandparents." But then, by the time I got to the end, there were so many more spokes on the wheel, it was more involved that just Boaz and Ruth; this involved Lot, and Judah, and Rahab, and even Bathsheba; we have no idea the amount of people involved to put everything together. God's plans are well planned, they are very well thought out, and His thoughts are far above anything that we could ever imagine. I am sure we would discover some more, because the beginning started with Adam and Eve; Adam named his wife Eve, which means, "The Mother of All Living." Which reminds me, I was speaking with a niece of mine the other day about her not dying, and she did not understand my point. Where did we go wrong? Was there something left out from the message, because eternal life is the message! If you really want to know how that looks, Righteousness equals Salvation, and Salvation equals Eternal Life! He is our Righteousness! Yes, for those that might not know, Jesus Christ is our covering; He is the Garment that must be worn, which is why we must Abide in Him. There is a lot of stuff to put together from all of this; but one thing you will not find is a mistake...
"Then took him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, "Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel." And Joseph and his mother marveled at those things which were spoken of him." (Luke 2:28-33)
