From Bethlehem to Moab, and Back Again: 5 Day Bible PlanSample

Day 2

Ruth 1:6 When Naomi heard in Moab that the Lord had come to the aid of his people by providing food for them, she and her daughters-in-law prepared to return home from there.

I remember hearing a story about a missionary who needed money in order to build the building God was asking him to build. He had no money, but he began to build anyway, and the money to pay for it was found. The missionary began the work, and God provided the money.

Naomi heard that God had helped people, and stopped the famine because people told their stories. They told stories of food, and God’s provision and these stories reached Naomi.

And Naomi paid attention.

Every person we meet has a story. Do we pay attention?

James 1:17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. 

God still comes to help us; he still comes to our aid.

Reflect: Where did God ‘come to your aid’ today?

Prayer: Father God, thank you that you notice me, and help me. Help me do the same for others. Amen
