Then he said to the closest relative, “Naomi, who has come back from the land of Moab, has to sell the piece of land which belonged to our brother Elimelech. So I thought to inform you, saying, ‘Buy it before those who are sitting here, and before the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if not, tell me that I may know; for there is no one but you to redeem it, and I am after you.’ ” And he said, “I will redeem it.” Then Boaz said, “On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must also acquire Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of the deceased, in order to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance.” The closest relative said, “I cannot redeem it for myself, because I would jeopardize my own inheritance. Redeem it for yourself; you may have my right of redemption, for I cannot redeem it.”

We all have conflict in the home at times don’t we? We can learn in this Guide about finding hope in our home from the Book of Ruth. The book teaches us loving sacrifice, obedience, and the loving, faithful nature of God in times of trouble.
Ruth is set during the rebellion and wickedness of the time of the Judges. Although the book begins with tragedy, God weaves together a beautiful tapestry of faithfulness, loyal love, and providence. This book reminds us that God takes the most unlikely people and most unlikely circumstances to bring about his redemptive purposes.
In this 4-part devotional, Pastor Dylan Dodson goes through the book of Ruth. This plan will help you see how God is faithful to us, no matter what our circumstances may look like.
