Welcome to Every Thought Captive, I’m Phil Steiger.
How does God answer prayer? Well, in the life of Ruth, we read Naomi's prayer over her that God would help her find a homeland. We also read Boaz's prayer over Ruth that God would repay her for her kindness to his relative Naomi.
As it turns out, Ruth did find a home-it was Naomi’s. And Ruth was repaid for her kindness-when she married Boaz. In both cases, God used Naomi and Boaz to answer their own prayers.
From time to time we fall into a rut when we think God will work something out for the people we pray for by some other means we do not know or see. We often pray not expecting to be the person God uses to answer prayer. But as we see with Naomi and Boaz, God will often use us as His way of answering our prayers. Be alert-God may be answering prayer through you and your faithfulness.
