A sermon from the Old Testament book of Ruth. Naomi, Ruth and Boaz are the main characters in the story. Naomi had left Bethlehem with her husband and her two sons because of a famine in the land. They had moved to Moab where the sons married two Moabite women. During that time in Moab, Naomi’s husband and her two sons die, for reasons we are not told about. This leaves Naomi bitter. The story is about how Ruth’s godliness and faithfulness, along with Boaz’s righteousness, redeems Naomi and helps her see the goodness of God even through tragic and difficult circumstances. The Christian life is not an easy life to live in this world. Nevertheless, we trust in a sovereign and good God who does all things for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).
