—Ruth 4:3-6,13-15
by: Paula Davis.
Naomi experienced much loss and grief in her lifetime. After leaving her homeland for a pagan country and losing her husband and both sons, she became bitter, except for the joy that came through the love of her daughter-in-law Ruth. Because of Ruth’s determination and love for God and her mother-in-law, their lives were redeemed by their kinsman, bringing renewed joy to Naomi. We have a kinsman too, who is ready and willing to bring joy in the midst of our trials. Reach out to Jesus, believe in His love, and allow Him to restore your joy.
