Single Women of the Bible: Seeing God No Matter Your Relationship Status Przykład

## Ruth When we read the story of Ruth, we see a beautiful love story unfold from devastating grief. After Ruth’s husband died, she was left with no protection and a future full of fear. Unmarried women in that society were the most vulnerable, and while Ruth may have the opportunity to meet and marry, her mother-in-law Naomi, did not. Ruth demonstrated her loyalty to her family and to the Lord by staying faithful, even without knowing the future that was in store. She was bold, she was brave, and she demonstrated that as we see her relationship with Boaz unfold. Oftentimes in our singleness, we may feel like the answer is always inaction and to wait on God means to do nothing. But Ruth shows us a different way. She listened to the mentorship of Naomi and won the heart and favor of Boaz. Because of her obedience, her courage, her action, and her faith: she was rewarded with a “kinsman-redeemer” in Boaz. His love and favor of her reflected the same love Jesus has for us. How can we learn from Ruth as we wait and act in obedience for the person God has in store? [IMAGE CONTENT]
