What a difference a day makes!
Yesterday, we were mired in the dark times of Judges, now today, we read the beautiful story of Ruth. The faithfulness of Ruth is pretty amazing. God blessed that faithfulness with marriage to a good man, and a son, who would become a father to future kings (see Ruth 4:18-22).
How important is family? Do we really sense an obligation to help each other out?
Amazingly, Ruth did not abandon her mother-in-law, even though she could offer her little. Ruth was faithful and loved her new family. It was through this faithfulness that God continued to build his people. Ruth was similar to Abraham in that she stayed faithful. By doing so, she was able to make an extraordinary impact on others and find peace and serenity.
