RUTH
Let us talk about Ruth. She is an old favorite story but I would like to present a couple of thoughts for you to meditate. Naomi's name meant peace, but after losing her husbands and sons and living in a strange land with strange gods in poverty she changed her name to bitterness. Think about Ruth she attached herself to bitterness and left all that was familiar to her in her grief and went to Jerusalem with her mother-in- law. She scraped out enough to eat in their poverty by gleaning fields. Then along came Boaz and in one day she went from peasent to princess. Do you know why? She had a King in her. She gave birth to Seth who begat Jesse who begat David who was in the lineage of Jesus. Even though Ruth was attached to bitterness God delivered her to her destiny.
