—Ruth 1:6-11
by: Aubrey Appel.
Naomi knew that God was calling her back to Judah. How easy it would have been to stay in Moab and mourn her losses. When God pushes me out of my comfortable selfishness, do I go complaining or am I grateful? How often do we tell God that we need just a little more time to nurture and cultivate our grief before moving on? Naomi was facing a new life in Judah-after living for years in Moab and losing her family there. She found her strength in the Lord to move on, leaving her grief behind and letting God look to her unknown future.
