Day 9: Ruth: The Branch of Loyalty and Love — Ruth 1:16–17; 4:13–17

🌿 Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “A woman is like a tea bag—you never know how strong it is until it’s in hot water.”

Ruth and Naomi were two women tested by tragedy. Both lost their husbands, and Naomi lost both her sons. Naomi’s grief turned to bitterness, yet Ruth’s response was different. She showed remarkable loyalty and love, refusing to abandon Naomi: “Where you go, I will go.”

Ruth’s faithfulness led her to Boaz, her kinsman-redeemer, and through that union, God brought forth the lineage of King David—and ultimately Jesus Christ.

✨ Christmas Truth to Ponder: With God’s help, our character can shine under the most challenging circumstances.
