Thought For Today: “Faith to Follow”
When faced with a choice to stay or follow, Ruth chose to follow.
“Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. 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.” (Ruth 1:16-17)
Ruth was choosing between staying in her comfort zone or moving forward with God.
When life’s difficult decisions come our way, we need to choose to follow God’s leading by faith over the easy way, or what is the most comfortable.
In the end, Ruth was blessed, not only through her marriage to Boaz and having children, but by ending up in the genealogy of Jesus.
