Ruth 3 & 4, John 9: 35-41, John 10: 1-21, Psalm 77: 1-9
Ruth 4: 14-15 (ESV)
“Then the women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the Lord, who has
not left you this day without a redeemer, and may his name be renowned in
Israel! He shall be to you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age,
for your daughter-in-law who loves you, who is more to you than seven sons, has
given birth to him.”
Verses 14 and 15 from Ruth 4 show us that even though Naomi
doubted God because her husband and her two sons died, in the end God blessed
Naomi whose descendant will become King David. God not only restored her family
line, but Ruth’s son will continue the line that line with King David and Jesus
Christ. God used Naomi and Ruth to redeem not only Naomi and Ruth, but her
people and the world as well with the birth of Jesus Christ. God always has a
plan for our lives, even though it can sometimes feel like we are not blessed
at all. It might take awhile to see God’s plan, but if we keep our faith in God
we will eventually come to know that God’s plan was the best thing that
happened in our life.
