Finding Hope At Home

DAY 1 OF 4

What is the trouble in your home?

The story of the Book of Ruth begins in the country of Moab near the Dead Sea. It takes place during the period of Judges at a time of great failure and struggle for the people of Israel. A horrible drought forced a woman named Naomi and her husband to leave Moab for Jerusalem. When they arrive Naomi’s husband dies. Her two sons both marry but they both die soon after they get married. Are you getting the picture? Naomi is left alone with only her two daughters in law, Orpah and Ruth. Orpah returns back home to her own parents but Ruth stays with Naomi and they travel together to Jerusalem. Ruth eventually remarries to a wealthy landowner named Boaz. They have children and their family goes on to ultimately create a direct line to Christ!

First, as we compare our stories of distress in our own homes, we can learn from Ruth the importance of being bold and courageous. After her husband died and she didn’t know what to do she found courage in the Lord to boldly pursue what she felt was right in the sight of the Lord!

As you set this time aside now to listen to the audio prayer, first pause as you reflect on perhaps one thing that concerns you most about your home right now?
