TEXT: RUTH 1:15-18
TOPIC: NAOMI'S APPEAL AND RUTH'S RESPONSE
RUTH 1:15-18 NIV
15: “Look,” said Naomi, “your sister-in-law is going
back to her people and her gods. Go back with her.”
16: But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or
to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay.
Your people will be my people and your God my God.
17: Where you die I will die, and there I will be
buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death
separates you and me.”
18: When Naomi realized that Ruth was determined to
go with her, she stopped urging her.
NAOMI'S APPEAL AND RUTH'S RESPONSE
Naomi decided to return to Bethlehem after losing
everything, including her husband and sons.
She addressed Ruth and Orpha as her daughters and
urged them to return home.
Orpha left, but Ruth clung to Naomi, declaring her
loyalty: "Where you go, I will go; your people will be my people, and your
God my God."
Ruth's commitment is a powerful testament to loyalty
and faith.
When you vow to the Lord, be sure to keep it.
QUESTION: How can we show faith and loyalty in our
relationships?
PRAYER: Forgive me, Lord, for being unfaithful to my
commitments. Amen.
