THE BOOK OF RUTH: UNDER HIS WINGS

The book of Ruth is a story of suffering.  But it is also a book about blessing.  It answers the question: What should I do when I face suffering?  The book takes us to a fork in the road and asks us to make a choice.  Are we going to walk down the road of bitterness or the road of trust?  We must decide. 

Although walking together as they return to Bethlehem, Naomi has chosen the path of bitterness, while Ruth is seeking refuge in the Lord.  Fortunately, Naomi’s bitterness is eventually abandoned and her trust in God is rekindled.  The book relates the story of how this transformation takes place.  It also reveals the richness of God’s blessing to both Naomi and Ruth through Boaz, their kinsman-redeemer.
