How to recognize a Bozo vs. Boaz <CLICK PICTURE>

According to Ruth Chapter 2 Boa...z was single!! Unattached! He had no chick on the side, and possessed NO BAGGAGE!

Bozo, is just the opposite. He comes with baggage from the past relationships. Or, he may very well be in a relationship and leaves that woman for you. Or so you think?? Basically, Bozo does not come without some type of soulish tie.

Boaz will recognize who you are, and come to YOU! You don’t have to chase down your Boaz. You don’t throw yourself at Boaz! Why? You don’t need too!! He will inquire about you, and give you favor. He will treat you different than he treats other women. He will even publicly honor you! He will make things easier for you!

Ruth 2:5-9 (Message Translation)- 5 Boaz asked his young servant who was foreman over the farm hands, “Who is this young woman? Where did she come from?” 6-7 The foreman said, “Why, that’s the Moabite girl, the one who came with Naomi from the country of Moab. She asked permission. ‘Let me glean,’ she said, ‘and gather among the sheaves following after your harvesters.’ She’s been at it steady ever since, from early morning until now, without so much as a break.” 8-9 Then Boaz spoke to Ruth: “Listen, my daughter. From now on don’t go to any other field to glean—stay right here in this one. And stay close to my young women. Watch where they are harvesting and follow them. And don’t worry about a thing; I’ve given orders to my servants not to harass you. When you get thirsty, feel free to go and drink from the water buckets that the servants have filled.”

Bozo doesn’t recognize your worth. He treats you just as any other female friend. Or he doesn’t treat you like a prize at all. You don’t feel special in his presence. A Bozo doesn’t see ways to make things easier for you. Because with a Bozo, you aren’t really on his mind and his agenda may not be to make you his wife. You are just another woman to him.

Boaz adds value to your life. You can glean from him. He’s someone you can admire and as I said before he gives you the “special treatment” because you are indeed a special woman. This man takes good care of you and you can trust the God in him. He takes such good care of you, and adds so much to your life that is shows. His love will mirror God’s love.

Ruth 2:16-19 (Message Translation)16 When she got up to go back to work, Boaz ordered his servants: “Let her glean where there’s still plenty of grain on the ground—make it easy for her. Better yet, pull some of the good stuff out and leave it for her to glean. Give her special treatment.” 17-18 Ruth gleaned in the field until evening. When she threshed out what she had gathered, she ended up with nearly a full sack of barley! She gathered up her gleanings, went back to town, and showed her mother-in-law the results of her day’s work; she also gave her the leftovers from her lunch. 19 Naomi asked her, “So where did you glean today? Whose field? God bless whoever it was who took such good care of you!” Ruth told her mother-in-law, “The man with whom I worked today? His name is Boaz.”

Bozo, again, is just the opposite. Bozo decreases your value. When you leave Bozo, you are spiritually, mentally, and physically drained. You argue and fight continuously with Bozo. It may be physically or verbally. You struggle with your purity with Bozo because your value as a Proverbs 31 woman does not matter to him. Bozo is selfish and is not thinking about your needs because he simply wants you to meet his.

YOUR Boaz has self control. Boaz woke up to a beautiful woman asleep at his feet! And did not try to jump on her, and have sex with her! Now, by NO means am I saying go lay at some man’s feet you “think” is your Boaz. This was indeed a different cultural time. HOWEVER, I’m sure the same sexual temptations were available to Boaz at this time. Instead of using this moment to his advantage, he recognized her heart towards him and treated her as the prize she was!

Ruth 3:8-13 (Message Translation) In the middle of the night the man was suddenly startled and sat up. Surprise! This woman asleep at his feet! 9 He said, “And who are you?” She said, “I am Ruth, your maiden; take me under your protecting wing. You’re my close relative, you know, in the circle of covenant redeemers—you do have the right to marry me.” 10-13 He said, “God bless you, my dear daughter! What a splendid expression of love! And when you could have had your pick of any of the young men around. And now, my dear daughter, don’t you worry about a thing; I’ll do all you could want or ask. Everybody in town knows what a courageous woman you are— a real prize! You’re right, I am a close relative to you, but there is one even closer than I am. So stay the rest of the night. In the morning, if he wants to exercise his customary rights and responsibilities as the closest covenant redeemer, he’ll have his chance; but if he isn’t interested, as God lives, I’ll do it. Now go back to sleep until morning.” 14 Ruth slept at his feet until dawn, but she got up while it was still dark and wouldn’t be recognized. Then Boaz said to himself, “No one must know that Ruth came to the threshing floor.”

Bozo on the other hand, would have saw that as a prime opportunity to “hit that” for lack of better words! Lol Bozo does not have self control and would have taken full advantage of the opportunity to have sex with you before marriage. With a Bozo being with you is just another notch on his belt if he can have you.

Take the time to read this Biblical story. It’s a story or redemption, love, and favor. This story is an example that mirrors God’s ability to redeem and love us exceedingly, abundantly, and above all that we may ask or think…

I will expound more on Bozo’s vs Boaz in part 2! Feel free to leave comments! What are some of your experiences??

I used to knock people who made fun of guys for not going after girls, but there's gotta be some mutual things going on there.

Good luck for people waiting for a Boaz....but just remember it was Ruth who snuck in and slept at his feet to get the ball really moving. ;)
