When trouble comes our way..we need Ruth[s] in our life to come to our rescue..

Ruths are friends in our lives who are willing to hang in there with us..willing to say as Ruth did to Naomi when her husband and two sons had died..when she returned from a foreign country, having changed her name to “ Mara” ..bitter instead of pleasant.. one who will as in chapter 2 of the Book of Ruth, and verse 2 seek after the favor of God. We need friends who will belive in God’s favor for our lives, even when we don’t for ourselves.we need friends who will not leave us to be stuck in our valley of despair or depression, but tell us..take us ..show us where the field still has grain..point out where we last saw God’s favor and remind us: God has not removed His favor from our lives.This week thank God for the Ruths in your life..Become a Ruth to someone else who needs to find deliverence from what they are going through

Because the tomb is empty!
