Love God Greatly: Ruth

DAY 1 OF 26

The book of Ruth begins by giving us the background story of how Naomi’s family ended up in a pagan land. The famine in the land was the result of disobedience, and Elimelech’s response to God’s discipline was to walk away from God, not toward Him. Rather than respond with faith in the character and provision of God, Elimelech took matters in his own hands and went the way of the world.

Have you ever found yourself standing with empty hands because you were disobedient? Our response to God’s chastening should be repentance, humility, and obedience. We can decide to ask for forgiveness and re-align our hearts to God, or we can be willful and wild and end up even emptier than when we started.

Lord, give us hearts that are quick to repent and turn to You when we sin. Help us to be teachable and tender to the leading of Your Spirit and say no to our flesh. Amen.

About this Plan

Love God Greatly: Ruth

If you’ve ever experienced loss, loneliness, or seasons of great change or difficulty, then you can immediately identify with the events and people in the book of Ruth. While Ruth begins as a story of heartache, it doesn’t stop there. Mourning turns to dancing as themes of loyalty, kindness, boldness, acceptance, love, and redemption are uncovered. But ultimately, Ruth is a book about the providence of God. We should never underestimate the seemingly small events in our lives. Whether it is caring for family, getting married, working, showing kindness to our neighbors, or raising children… all of it is being used by God for the good of those who love Him, for His glory, and for the salvation of others. The book of Ruth reminds us that no event or person is insignificant in the plan of God. Join us for a 4 week study in the book of Ruth.
