We all have conflict in the home at times don’t we? It can be conflict between you and your spouse, with the children, or even in-laws.

The book teaches us all that sincere love often requires sacrifice.

Learn from Ruth

  • We can learn from Ruth’s story that obedience in everyday life pleases God.
  • We can learn about the loving, faithful nature of God in times of trouble.
  • We can learn how to cry to God.
  • Then watch as He responds.

OBEDIENCE

First, as we compare our stories of distress in our own homes, we can learn from Ruth the importance of being bold and courageous. After her husband died and she didn’t know what to do she found courage in the Lord to boldly pursue what she felt was right in the sight of the Lord!

Have you felt a day in your home with no hope?
Ruth 2 : 1 - 23

NATURE OF GOD

We have each faced days like those haven’t we?
Waking up with little hope then reflecting back later that night of God’s provision and favor.

Sometimes great favor. Sometimes small.
But always present.

In reading this chapter remember that the Lord’s favor is planned; it comes through others; and provides for the future.

OUR RESPONSE

Naomi is showing us how faith works along side of logic and circumstances. When our circumstances line up against God’s word then we can be bold in stepping out in faith.

Who is the kinsman redeemer in your home?
Ruth 4 : 1 - 24

GOD'S RESPONSE
Ruth makes it clear that patience is a virtue worth cultivating. When her mother-in-law tells her to wait for Boaz to act, Ruth wisely waits.
