Naomi had a relative. He was from Elimelech’s side of the family. He was a man of outstanding character named Boaz. Ruth, who was from Moab, said to Naomi, “Please let me go to the field of anyone who will be kind to me. There I will gather the grain left behind by the reapers.” Naomi told her, “Go, my daughter.” So Ruth went. She entered a field and gathered the grain left behind by the reapers. Now it happened that she ended up in the part of the field that belonged to Boaz, who was from Elimelech’s family. Just then, Boaz was coming from Bethlehem, and he said to his reapers, “May the LORD be with all of you!” They answered him, “May the LORD bless you!” Boaz asked the young man in charge of his reapers, “Who is this young woman?” The young man answered, “She’s a young Moabite woman who came back with Naomi from the country of Moab. She said, ‘Please let me gather grain. I will only gather among the bundles behind the reapers.’ So she came here and has been on her feet from daybreak until now. She just sat down this minute in the shelter.”

Child of God, Your Heavenly Father has designed you to succeed in fulfilling His purposes for your life. Are you facing situations defiant of God’s faithful love and good plans for you? If so, remember who you are and refuse to let adverse circumstances rename you! God calls and equips His children to be overcomers. Walk with Naomi in this Bible plan and rediscover the overcomer in you.
In the first plan of this series, Naomi and Ruth returned to Bethlehem from Moab and to the covenant promises. However, she has yet to return to a relationship with God. Let’s look into recognizing that relationship, and what God does so we can return to Him and see Him in all His fullness. He wants us to recognize His faithfulness, godliness, grace, and favor in everyone involved.
All the great men and women in the Bible also had ordinary days, boring, routine days filled with great pressures. What can we learn from them? Even our normal, everyday days belong to God, and He is glorified in them as well. I encourage you to read this devotional and find joy in all your ordinary days.
This 3-day devotional draws from powerful stories in the Bible to help you navigate dating with divine discernment. Through Scripture, reflection, and practical assignments, you will learn to approach relationships with wisdom, patience, and faith, ensuring they align with God’s purpose.
