Nothing in our lives is wasted. In God’s economy, every detail has value and purpose. A seemingly random event that takes place today will one day serve a grander purpose. It’s when we look back at our lives that we note how God used a difficult season to create beauty in our lives later.
Ruth cooperated with God’s leading – even though the work was grueling and held little return for her at first. Her faithful obedience was rewarded abundantly. What field have you landed in right now that is hard work for you? Bloom where you are planted. God sees you, and He is cultivating beautiful fruit in your heart as you labor.
Lord, help us to follow wherever You lead us and keep working even when it’s painfully hard. Help us to trust that You are at work. Amen.

About this Plan
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.
