Lessons in Life and Faith

“Follow the people who will lead you into a closer relationship with God” - Wesleyne

Ruth 1: 16:

But Ruth replied: Do not persuade me to leave you or go back and not follow you. For wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you live, I will live; your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.

If you read the story of Ruth in the Bible, you will come across the impossible decision she had to make when she became widowed. “Should I remain in the safety of my homeland or commit myself to follow my mother-in-law, Naomi, to the far-off land of Judah? She must have wondered.” Later, when faced with exacting situation after situation, Ruth continued to discern what God would have her do. 

Though a woman of meager means and very few options, Ruth’s example reveals how God can use your consistent acts of ordinary faithfulness, devotion, and love to further His extraordinary plan of salvation. Today, if you are experiencing a time of great struggle or sorrow in your life, know that God is with you. Take encouragement from Ruth’s example of tenacious faith, devotion, and love. If you cling to God, his promises, and his people, he will meet you in your need wherever you are. Lean on God’s guidance and reach out to family, friends, or your pastor as you discern your way forward. And remember, you don’t have to have it all figured out. Just continue to take your next right step and God will do the rest!
