Ruth
Ruth was a beautiful example of a woman who exemplified characteristics consistent with a life of faith. She was a Moabite woman who married into an Israelite family. When tragedy struck, and her husband, father-in-law, and brother-in-law passed away, she was presented with a significant decision. Would she return to her parents and people, or would she follow her mother-in-law, Naomi, back to Bethlehem? Ruth decided to accompany Naomi back to her homeland, but more importantly, she decided to embrace Naomi's God, the God of Israel.
So many thoughts and feelings had to have been racing through Ruth's head, but she chose to follow the genuine and honest faith Naomi and her family had obviously modeled for her. And so Ruth and Naomi journeyed together. Throughout the book of Ruth, we see her grow in obedience, trust, and faith. Ruth is a beautiful example of one who exhibited loyalty, honesty, kindness, and love in all of her relationships.
1. Can others see godly characteristics in my life?
2. In what ways am I representing Christ in my life? How and where can I improve?
Prayer: Lord, help me to exhibit godly character in my relationships and my actions.
