📍 经文范围：路得记全书（重点1:1–5；1:8–18；2:3；3–4章）
⸻
一、背景介绍：混乱中的选择
《路得记》的故事发生在士师秉政的年代，是一个属灵黑暗的时期（士师记21:25）：“各人任意而行”。
但就在这动荡混乱的时代，一位摩押女子的信心选择，开启了一个充满恩典的转折。
这卷书提醒我们：人生中常有“属灵地雷”——看似合理、实则危险的决定。若不警醒、求问神，我们容易在关键时刻踩错。但若选择信靠与顺服，就能避开陷阱，走进命定。
⸻
二、地雷一：只看环境，缺乏祷告（1:1–5）
“国中遭遇饥荒…以利米勒带着妻子和两个儿子往摩押地寄居。”
以利米勒面对饥荒，没有求问神就离开伯利恒（“粮仓”），逃往属灵敌对的摩押。结果丈夫和两个儿子相继死亡，留下孤苦的拿俄米。
属灵提醒：
– 环境困难不是逃避神的理由；
– 决定前必须祷告，不要靠眼见行事。
⸻
三、地雷二：看似理性，错失命定（1:8–15）
“俄珥巴亲嘴而别，只是路得舍不得拿俄米。”
俄珥巴选择回娘家，选择稳定与安全；这在世人眼中没错，但她也从此淡出神的救赎计划。相反，路得坚持与婆婆同行，走上了信心之路。
属灵提醒：
– 合理的选择，不等于属灵的道路；
– 命定往往藏在看似“冒险”的决定中。
⸻
四、地雷三：只等机会，不迈步行动（2:3）
“路得就去了…恰巧到了波阿斯的一块田。”
“恰巧”是神在信心行动中的带领。若路得选择等在家中，就不会遇见波阿斯。她主动拾麦穗，在卑微中忠心，走进神的预备。
属灵提醒：
– 神的祝福常藏在看似平凡的顺服里；
– 信心不是坐等，而是踏出去。
⸻
五、地雷四：感情抢跑，忽略次序（3–4章）
波阿斯欣赏路得，却没有跳过律法程序。他先让更近的亲属放弃权利，才迎娶路得。路得也顺服拿俄米的指引，不操控、不冲动，等候神时间。
属灵提醒：
– 神的时间与法则，永远比人的计划更稳妥；
– 感情若无顺序，会破坏神原有的预备。
⸻
六、总结：三种选择，避开属灵地雷
路得的人生原本毫无盼望，但她的选择带她进入命定——成为大卫王的曾祖母、弥赛亚家谱中的一员（马太福音1:5）。
她避开属灵地雷的关键，在于：
1. 信心归属 ——
路得记1:16：“你的国就是我的国，你的神就是我的神。”
她清楚地脱离旧生活，归向耶和华。
2. 忠心持守 ——
不回头、不半途而废，陪伴拿俄米到底。
3. 顺服引导 ——
在关键时刻听劝引导，不强求结果。
✅ 结论提醒：
属灵地雷不靠聪明避开，
靠的是：信靠 + 忠心 + 顺服。
走在这条路上，哪怕你出身卑微、环境不好，
神都能带你进入一个超乎你所求所想的命定！
📖 Avoiding Spiritual Landmines — Lessons from the Book of Ruth
📅 Date: Friday, July 4, 2025
📍 Scripture Focus: The Book of Ruth (Key Passages: Ruth 1:1–5; 1:8–18; 2:3; Chapters 3–4)
⸻
- Background: Choosing Right in a Chaotic Time
The story of Ruth takes place during the time of the Judges — a spiritually dark period in Israel’s history when “everyone did what was right in his own eyes” (Judges 21:25).
Yet, in this unstable and chaotic season, a Moabite woman made a faith-filled decision that became a turning point of grace.
This book reminds us that life is full of spiritual landmines — decisions that seem reasonable but are spiritually dangerous. If we are not watchful or prayerful, we can easily step into traps at critical moments. But when we choose to trust and obey God, we can avoid those traps and walk into our divine destiny.
⸻
- Landmine #1: Reacting to Circumstances Without Prayer (Ruth 1:1–5)
“Now it came to pass… that there was a famine in the land. And Elimelek took his wife and two sons to live in the country of Moab.”
Faced with famine, Elimelek left Bethlehem (“house of bread”) and went to Moab, a spiritually hostile land, without seeking God. As a result, he and his two sons died, leaving Naomi widowed and alone.
Spiritual Reminder:
– Hard times are not a reason to run from God.
– Every major decision must be bathed in prayer — not based on what we see.
⸻
- Landmine #2: Reasonable Choices that Miss God’s Plan (Ruth 1:8–15)
“Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye, but Ruth clung to her.”
Orpah chose to return to her people — a stable, sensible, and culturally appropriate decision. But spiritually, she stepped out of God’s redemptive story. Ruth, on the other hand, stayed and stepped into a journey of faith.
Spiritual Reminder:
– The logical choice isn’t always the spiritual one.
– God’s destiny is often found in what seems risky.
⸻
- Landmine #3: Waiting for Opportunity, But Not Taking Action (Ruth 2:3)
“So Ruth went out… and as it turned out, she found herself working in a field belonging to Boaz.”
The phrase “as it turned out” shows how God led Ruth through her faithful actions. Had she waited at home for a miracle, she would have missed Boaz. Her obedience in the ordinary opened the door to divine provision.
Spiritual Reminder:
– God’s blessings are often hidden in everyday obedience.
– Faith doesn’t wait passively — it steps out.
⸻
- Landmine #4: Letting Emotion Override God’s Timing (Ruth 3–4)
Boaz loved Ruth, but he followed the legal process, allowing the nearer relative the first right of redemption. Ruth also submitted to Naomi’s counsel. Neither of them rushed. They trusted God’s timing and order.
Spiritual Reminder:
– God’s timing and principles are more secure than our plans.
– Relationships must follow divine order to be truly blessed.
⸻
- Conclusion: Three Keys to Avoiding Spiritual Landmines
Ruth’s life began in brokenness, but her choices led her into destiny — becoming the great-grandmother of King David, part of the lineage of the Messiah (Matthew 1:5).
Her story teaches us how to avoid spiritual landmines through:
1. Faith in God’s Kingdom —
Ruth 1:16: “Your people will be my people, and your God my God.”
She clearly left her old life and chose to belong to the Lord.
2. Loyal Commitment —
She didn’t look back or give up halfway. She walked with Naomi to the end.
3. Humble Obedience —
She listened to advice at key moments and didn’t try to control the outcome.
✅ Final Reminder:
Spiritual landmines aren’t avoided by being clever —
they’re avoided by trusting, staying faithful, and obeying.
Even if your background is humble and your circumstances difficult,
God can still lead you into a destiny beyond what you can ask or imagine.
