From Gary... Who are you?



Today, on facebook, someone posted the above video from You Tube.  This 14 year old guitarist named Tina, plays Van Halen's "Eruption" as easily as a concert pianist would play "chopsticks".  And, she does it with a very extremely relaxed manner to boot.  If she decides to continue playing no one will ask "Who are you, Tina"- they will KNOW!!!  In asking the question "Who are you", I asked another... Has that ever been said in the Scriptures?... The answer is listed below...

Ruth, Chapter 3

 1 Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, “My daughter, shall I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?  2 Now isn’t Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? Behold, he winnows barley tonight in the threshing floor.  3 Therefore wash yourself, anoint yourself, get dressed, and go down to the threshing floor, but don’t make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.  4 It shall be, when he lies down, that you shall mark the place where he shall lie, and you shall go in, and uncover his feet, and lay down; then he will tell you what you shall do.” 

  5  She said to her, “All that you say I will do.”  6 She went down to the threshing floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law told her.  7 When Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. She came softly, uncovered his feet, and laid her down.  8 At midnight, the man was startled and turned himself; and behold, a woman lay at his feet.  9 He said, “Who are you?” 

She answered, “I am Ruth your handmaid. Therefore spread your skirt over your handmaid; for you are a near kinsman.” 


The Jews were God's chosen people; this is reiterated again and again.  But, Ruth was from Moab.  Yet, her faith and love for God and her mother-in-law Naomi brought her to Israel.  God blessed her and she is listed in the lineage of Jesus (Matthew 1:5).  "Who are you" is best answered by God, because he knows everything about you- past, present, future- everything!!!



PS.  This post began with seeing my 13 year old Granddaughter's 3rd place picture on facebook today.  She seems to take to photography as easily as Tina does to the guitar.  Who are you- Elizabeth?  Only time will tell- but I can't wait to see the answer!!!!!
