—Ruth 1:6-18, 22
by: Jasmine Lynch.
Sometimes bad things happen and we think that God is punishing us. Naomi thought, “The Almighty hath afflicted me” (v.21, KJV) because she had left Bethlehem with a husband and two sons and was returning without any of them. How many times have you blamed God for what has happened to you only to discover that God was working things out for you? God works in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform. When things are not going the way you planned, be encouraged by the story of Ruth and Naomi. When you do not see God working, He is working. When you do not feel He is working, He is working.
