Wednesday, November 3: Scripture – Ruth 4:7-8

7 Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning redeeming and exchanging: to confirm a transaction, the one took off a sandal and gave it to the other; this was the manner of attesting in Israel.

8 So when the next-of-kin said to Boaz, “Acquire it for yourself,” he took off his sandal.  

Prayer Focus: Trading shoes seems to be a strange way to seal a real estate deal, but apparently that was the custom. How do you assure someone of your word today? Is it a handshake, a signed contract, a monetary exchange? Pray that you might be faithful to your word and to your agreements today. Do not fail to be truthful and honorable in everything.
