with the blood of Jesus
We rejoice with you as you cling to the promise of Deut 28:13 that Yahweh will make you the head, and not the tail, and you will be above only, and you will not be beneath, if you listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God. We want to gently remind you together that this promise is not a loose verse to claim as a charm, but a covenant blessing tied to obedience, for Deut 28:1 says it will happen if you will diligently listen to Yahweh your God's voice, to observe to do all his commandments. We are to walk in obedience and humility before Him, not simply speak the blessing, but live it.
We also hear your joy that you have found a man you describe as a Boaz and that you are greatly attracted to him, and you wonder about his living in a mobile trailer. We want to encourage you that God does not measure a man or a marriage by outward wealth or housing, for 1 Sam 16:7 says man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart. A Boaz in scripture was a man of character, integrity, provision and protection who honored God and honored Ruth, seeking marriage in a way that was pure and lawful. If this man is a born again Believer in Jesus Christ, a man who fears the Lord, works diligently, and desires to lead a home in godliness, then whether he lives in a mobile trailer, a house, or elsewhere is no cause for worry, for Heb 13:5 reminds us to be content with what we have, since he has said, I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you, and Phil 4:19 assures us that our God will supply every need of ours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
We are encouraged that you mention the blood of Jesus, for it is only by that blood and by His name that we have access to the Father. John 14:6 says Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me, and Acts 4:12 says there is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. We pray you have truly put your trust in Jesus Christ for salvation, believing that He died for your sins and rose again, for Rom 10:9 says that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Concerning this attraction, we want to encourage you to pursue this as courtship with the goal of godly marriage, for that is God's design. Marriage is to be between one man and one woman for life, and Heb 13:4 says let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers. We urge you together to guard purity and to flee fornication, which is sex before or outside of marriage, and to ensure you are not unequally yoked, for 2 Cor 6:14 asks what fellowship has righteousness with iniquity. We pray you will seek counsel, observe his fruit, his walk with Christ, his treatment of others, and his willingness to lead spiritually, rather than being led only by strong attraction. Prov 31:30 says charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears Yahweh, she shall be praised, and the same is true for a man who fears the Lord.
We join our faith with yours now and pray together in Jesus name. Father, we thank You for Your promises and for Your word that gives us identity and hope. We ask that You make our sister the head and not the tail as she walks in obedience to You, seeking first Your kingdom and righteousness. We ask You to give her discernment concerning this Boaz, to reveal whether he is indeed a man after Your heart and a godly spouse who will honor You in marriage. If it is Your will, we pray You would lead them into a Christ centered courtship that honors purity and leads to a lifelong marriage, and if not, give her peace to wait on You. Provide for all her needs, quiet any worry about housing or status, and cover her life and future marriage with the blood of Jesus. Help her to trust not in a verse alone but in the living Christ who fulfills every promise. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, amen.

We hear how much this means to you, wanting to live with dignity and strength, and feeling hopeful about this man you describe as a Boaz and about provision for a mobile trailer. We love that you want to bring all of this under the blood of Jesus and walk in the identity He gives you.
One thought that may steady you as you pray through these big desires is that our truest sense of being the head and not the tail comes from who we are in Christ, not just from our circumstances working out. When our identity is rooted there, we can face both exciting opportunities and waiting seasons before an audience of One, caring more about character and faithfulness than about outward appearance or quick results.
It could help to give these hopes some unhurried space. You might write down what draws you to this man and what you are learning about his character over time, and what a trailer home would mean practically for your budget, stability and community. Inviting one trusted, mature believer or pastor who knows you to pray with you and to get to know him with you can bring clarity and peace as you seek God's direction.
Father, we lift our sister to You. Thank You for loving her and calling her Your own. Give her wisdom, discernment and peace as she considers this relationship and housing need. Guard her heart and guide her steps, provide for her in the way that is best, and help her to know she is secure in Christ. In Jesus' name, amen.

It is good that you would turn to the Word of God and to the blood of Jesus, for there is no other hope for any of us. The verse you name, that the Lord would make thee the head and not the tail, was spoken to Israel under the covenant at Sinai, and the promise was tied to hearkening diligently unto the voice of the Lord and keeping His commandments. It is not a sentence to be loosened as a charm, but a blessing that flows from obedience, and our obedience is only found in Christ, who kept the law perfectly for His people and shed His blood that we might be forgiven and made new. To plead the blood of Jesus is to plead for mercy, for cleansing from sin, and for a heart made willing to walk in His ways.
I hear your desire for provision in the matter of a home, even a mobile trailer, and your attraction to one whom you call a Boaz. The desire for a godly husband and for a home is in itself not to be despised, for marriage is a holy ordinance of God in which a man and a woman become one, a lifelong covenant in which the husband and wife cleave to one another and to the Lord. As I have often said, the very crown of marriage is mutual delight and faithfulness under God, and Christ Himself is set forth as the Husband of His people, who loves and provides and communes with His own.
Yet because marriage is so honourable, the Lord would have it kept honourable. Sex and the making of one home together belong within that covenant of marriage between one man and one woman, and not outside it. For this reason I cannot ask God to bless a living together before or apart from marriage, but I can and do pray that He will keep you from sin and lead you in a plain path of holiness.
My prayer for you is this, that the Lord would first make you sure of your part in Christ through faith alone, that you would know yourself washed in His blood and clothed in His righteousness. Then, that He would give you wisdom and godly fear, that you would seek first His kingdom and trust Him for daily provision, whether it be a trailer or any other dwelling, and that you would be content to wait upon His hand. And concerning this man to whom you are drawn, that the Lord would try both your hearts, that if it be His will to give you in marriage, it may be as a believer with a believer, in purity and with the counsel and blessing of godly friends and family, and with vows made solemnly before God to love and cleave till death shall part. If it be not His will, that He would guard your affections and keep you from a hasty or unholy union.
May the Lord make you to walk uprightly, not seeking to be great in the eyes of the world, but to be found faithful in the eyes of God, looking unto Jesus, who is the true Boaz, the Kinsman Redeemer who has paid the price for His people. Seek Him, trust His Word, and forsake not the way of holiness, and He will provide what is best for you in His own time and way.

Thank you for sharing what is on your heart and for wanting to bring your life under the blessing of God and the blood of Jesus. I hear your hope in Deuteronomy 28:13 that you would be the head and not the tail, your attraction to a man you describe as a Boaz, and your question about a mobile trailer and living together.
That verse in Deuteronomy is a promise given to Israel when they would walk in obedience to the Lord, not a formula to claim for any desire we have. To be the head and not the tail in Scripture means to live under God's authority and in faithfulness to Him, seeking first His kingdom and His righteousness. The greatest blessing we can know is salvation through Jesus Christ alone, and from that salvation God calls us to live in a way that honors Him.
The story of Boaz in the book of Ruth is a beautiful picture because Boaz did not pursue Ruth for passion or convenience, but acted with restraint, honor, and public commitment. He protected her purity, he did not take her into his home privately, but sought marriage in the proper and lawful way before the elders. If the Lord is leading you toward marriage, that same pattern of patience, purity, and open commitment is the way to honor God and to truly honor one another.
For that reason Scripture teaches that marriage is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and that sexual intimacy and living together belong only within that covenant. A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives, and a man is to be the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the Church, giving himself to protect and provide for her. To live together before marriage, even with good intentions and even when there is strong attraction, is to make provision for the flesh to fulfill its desires and places both of you in danger spiritually. The blood of Jesus was shed not to give us confidence to continue in what is outside His will, but to cleanse us, forgive us, and give us power to walk in holiness.
It would not be right to ask God to bless a living arrangement or a sexual relationship outside of marriage, but we can and do pray for what is truly good for you.
I pray that God will draw you closer to Jesus Christ and establish you firmly in His grace, that He will give you wisdom and self control, and that He will guide you and this man with clarity. If marriage is His will for you, pray that you will pursue it in a holy way, with counsel from your pastors, with boundaries that guard purity, and with a public vow before God. If this home or this relationship would lead you away from obedience, pray that God will give you courage to step back and trust His provision. May He provide for your housing needs according to His wisdom, and may He help you to seek a home that supports a quiet, chaste, and godly life.
I encourage you to share this openly with a trusted pastor or mature believer in your church who can walk with you, help you set wise boundaries, and help you discern the next steps toward marriage if that is appropriate, or toward waiting on the Lord if it is not. God loves you and desires your holiness even more than your happiness, and true joy is found in walking in His ways.

Beloved of All
Your desire to walk in the blessing God promised and to see Him provide for you is good, and it is right to bring these hopes to Him in prayer. The verse you mention about being the head and not the tail was given as part of the blessings God promised when His people would listen to His voice and walk in obedience to Him. It is not a phrase to claim by itself, but a picture of the life that comes from walking closely with the Lord, trusting and obeying Him day by day. When we seek Him first, He lifts us up and leads us in His way.
You also speak of finding a Boaz, a man you are strongly drawn to. In Scripture, Boaz is shown as a kinsman of the family of Elimelech, a man of great wealth and standing, but what stands out most is his godly character in a time when many had turned away from God. He greeted his workers with a blessing in the name of the Lord, he lived with integrity, and he took notice of Ruth not for outward attraction alone but because he had heard of her faithfulness, how she had left her own land and family to care for her mother in law and to come to a people she did not know and to trust the God of Israel. He acted as a redeemer, willing to take responsibility according to God's law, and in that he gives a beautiful picture of how Jesus redeems His people. If you are considering a relationship, look for that kind of character, a man who loves the Lord, who honors Him in his speech and work, who shows kindness and self control and respect. And it is wise for you to consider Ruth's example as well, a life marked by loyalty, humility, and faith in God.
Scripture teaches that to avoid sexual sin, marriage is given as a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman, and that intimacy and living together belong within that covenant. It also teaches that a wife is bound as long as her husband lives, and when free to marry, she is to marry only in the Lord, choosing someone who loves and follows Jesus. Attraction alone is not enough to build a godly home. Pray for wisdom to see clearly whether this man truly walks with Christ, seek counsel from mature believers who know you both, and keep purity before marriage. Living together before marriage, even with good intentions or practical reasons like sharing a trailer, does not honor the Lord's design and can bring confusion and hurt. God calls His children to a different path, one that protects love and honors Him.
Your mention of a mobile trailer and having no worries reflects a real need for provision and stability. God cares about your practical needs and He often makes a way where there seems to be none. He leaves room to work in ways we do not expect, and He can provide housing and daily needs as you trust Him and steward what He gives with thankfulness and contentment. Bring the need for a home to Him, ask for His provision in a way that honors Him, and be willing to follow His leading step by step.
You close with the blood of Jesus, and that is the foundation of everything. Salvation comes through Jesus Christ alone, through His shed blood for the forgiveness of sins. That blood does not give us permission to follow our own desires, it brings us into a new life. When we see sin as God sees it, godly sorrow leads to repentance and to a real change, and anyone who is in Christ becomes a new creation. If there are areas where desire has run ahead of obedience, bring them honestly to the Lord, ask for His forgiveness and for strength to walk in His way.
My prayer for you is that the Lord will give you clear discernment about this relationship, that He will provide for your housing according to His wisdom, that He will help you to walk in obedience so you know His blessing in its true sense, and that you will grow in faith and purity as you trust Jesus fully. May He guide you to a marriage, if it is His will, that is centered on Christ, where love is shown as Christ loved the church and where there is mutual honor and respect, and may your life reflect His grace and truth.
