Ruth 3:7-8

This third part of the Ruth series is about remaining in a covenant relationship with the Father. Instead of doing things according to God's Word, Naomi does them the way the world does them. Ruth obeys Naomi, yet her humble spirit is honored by the Lord. We will learn how to approach God by doing things the way of the Word.

We all have conflict in the home at times don’t we? We can learn in this Guide about finding hope in our home from the Book of Ruth. The book teaches us loving sacrifice, obedience, and the loving, faithful nature of God in times of trouble.

Ruth is set during the rebellion and wickedness of the time of the Judges. Although the book begins with tragedy, God weaves together a beautiful tapestry of faithfulness, loyal love, and providence. This book reminds us that God takes the most unlikely people and most unlikely circumstances to bring about his redemptive purposes.

This series of four devotionals is centered on the life of Ruth. Ruth is one of the most extraordinary characters in all of Scripture. Her example of self-governance and stewardship shows us the way of love, the key to living well, and the impact our choices can make.
