*TOPIC : YOUR GOD WILL BE MY GOD*
*TODAY’S VERSE*
_*Ruth 1:16-17 (NKJV) But Ruth said: “Entreat me not to leave you, or to turn back from following after you; for wherever you go, I will go; and wherever you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God, my God. 17 Where you die, I will die, and there will I be buried. The LORD do so to me, and more also, if anything but death parts you and me.”_*
*TODAY’S THOUGHT*
Beloved,These are some powerful verses of Scripture. Here we have Ruth, a Moabite woman, whose father-in-law, brother-in-law and husband have all died. She has a chance to go home, but she sees something special in her mother-in-law, Naomi. She sees something that makes her want to stay with her instead of going back to her own land.
I think about us as Christians. Are people seeing things in our lives that make them desire our Jesus? Do they see love coming out of us? Do they see forgiveness? Are our words seasoned with salt, or do they hear the same things they hear in the world: backbiting, gossip and all the other things of this world’s system?
Special One, You see, we may be the only Jesus that people ever see, and if we do not let our light shine, all they will see is darkness. The Apostle Paul said, “Follow me as I follow Christ.” Can we say the same? Can we say to people, “Look at my life, at the way I live as a Christian, and follow that example”?
Ruth saw something in Naomi that caused her to want to stay with her. Because of that, she was blessed, Naomi was blessed, and the nation of Israel was blessed. Ruth became the great grandmother of King David! Look what it says at the end of this wonderful, short book:
