Ruth

 

Ruth

Never permit the bad news of man’s sin to rob you of the good news of God’s love and grace.

The four chapters of Ruth are four acts in a drama: tears, toil, trust and triumph. Naomi moves from bitterness to blessedness, and Ruth moves from loneliness to love. What a picture of the grace of God!

The events occur in the days of the judges. Ruth, a Moabitess marries into two Israelite families. After her first husband dies she goes with her mother-in-law, Naomi, to Bethlehem where she becomes the wife of Boaz. (possibly Elimelech’s brother). Her great grandson, David, ruled in Israel through whose lineage Jesus Christ was born.

Ruth’s story draws our attention to God’s magnificent purpose of redeeming all those who will put their trust in Him.

When we start to walk in God’s way, He will direct us. God steers our course when we take both hands off the wheel.
