Ruth 4:12

Who said you can’t flourish in hard times? Not the Bible! Why? Because God expects His children to trust Him as their Provider and Caregiver. Over 3,000 years ago, Ruth, a widowed Moabite refugee, experienced God’s miraculous provision of home and engrafting into the Messianic line. A shining example of how to overcome extreme difficulty, I believe Ruth’s encouragement in our hard times is one decision: “Flourish!”

God loves to be personal and intimate with us. There is goodness, mercy, and unconditional love in His house. The Book of Ruth resounds with this message. In the conclusion of our series on Ruth, we will see the full realization of the covenant in the lives of Naomi, Ruth, Boaz, and their descendants. It is a story of redemption for them and for us!

Parenting is a divine assignment, and Psalm 127 reminds us that our children are gifts from God and instruments of battle, like arrows in the hand of a warrior. This is part two of a devotional series by Christian Mommas designed to help you nurture your children with purpose and prophetic insights, guiding them toward their God-given destiny. You will learn how to build a home that stands on a firm foundation of faith, release your children with confidence into the world, and trust in God's perfect plan for their lives.

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.
