Bible Study 2: Naomi's Journey - Finding Strength in MentorshipNäide

Showing Up in Hard Times

Focus

Recall a difficult season in your life when someone showed up for you. Take a moment to thank God for that person and open yourself to today’s reading.

Through Ruth’s loyalty, Naomi finds a new season of joy as she cares for Ruth’s child, Obed. Even when we feel we have nothing to give, God can use our willingness to be present, bringing hope to our lives and others’.

Apply

How can you show up for someone else, trusting God to bring blessing through your presence?

Respond

God, help me to be present with those you place in my life. Give me the strength to show up, knowing you will work through even my smallest acts of love. Amen.
