Then all the elders and all the people who were at the gate said: “We are witnesses. May YAHWEH make the woman who is coming into your house like Rachel and Leah, both of whom built up the house of Israel. May you become famous in Bethlehem! May you become very prosperous! And may YAHWEH give you children by this young woman, and through them, may your family be like the family of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah!” So Boaz and Ruth married, and they became one as husband and wife. YAHWEH opened Ruth’s womb, and she bore a son. Then the women of Bethlehem blessed Naomi: “Praise YAHWEH, who never abandoned you nor withheld from you a kinsman-redeemer! And may his name be famous in Israel! May this child renew your life and sustain you in your old age! May your daughter-in-law, who loves you dearly, be more to you than seven sons could ever be, for she has given you a wonderful grandchild!” Then Naomi took her grandson and cuddled him in her arms and cared for him as if he were her own. The women of the neighborhood gave him a name, saying, “At last, Naomi has a son!” They named him Obed, and he became the father of Jesse, the father of David.

Who said you can’t flourish in hard times? Not the Bible! Why? Because God expects His children to trust Him as their Provider and Caregiver. Over 3,000 years ago, Ruth, a widowed Moabite refugee, experienced God’s miraculous provision of home and engrafting into the Messianic line. A shining example of how to overcome extreme difficulty, I believe Ruth’s encouragement in our hard times is one decision: “Flourish!”
