Ruth 1
Devotional:
With her two daughters-in-law she set out from the place where she had been living, and they took the road that would lead them back to Judah. (Ruth 1:7)
Naomi’s life had change, flexibility, tragedy, sadness and hopelessness. Imagine that kind of life – losing a husband and sons, and then moving back to her homeland without knowing what would be next. It’s hard to know how we would react to those circumstances. However, we have a bird’s eye view of this widow’s life; we know how God’s plan and purposes unfold and her story plays out. When life gets challenging, put your hope in the One who has all things planned. God is in all your circumstances. You are His image-bearer. Trust His plans. When the unexpected comes, call on Him…and remember Naomi’s story – a story of purpose and redemption.

Pray it:
Father, I thank you that in the midst of the changing and challenging circumstances of life, I can know that you never change and are working your plan of redemption in this world and my life. Help me to remember and trust in your plan even when I can’t see it or feel it in the moment. Amen.
