Ruth, Ep. 10

Are you afraid of being unnoticed? That everything you’re pouring out will just fall through the cracks? Nancy reminds you that the Lord sees everything and that He rewards the ordinary faithfulness of the woman who trusts in Him.

What does a biblical woman look like? Well, pretty similar to Ruth! She’s a biblical example of what God designed womanhood to be—beautifully receptive to man’s initiative, diligent, and self-controlled.

Do you view work as a drudgery or a privilege? From Ruth’s story, we find that work performed from a place of love becomes worship. Nancy invites you to let your work become worship, too.

Are your circumstances mysterious, uncertain, or confusing? If so, you’ll relate to Ruth—a woman who entrusted herself to God’s providence and experienced redeeming love.

Are you harboring bitterness? If so, what can you do about it? Is there hope for you? Yes, always! Today, Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth offers three suggestions to the bitter woman, and she points you to the truth that can set you free.

Do you ever feel like God is good to others, but not to you? When we encounter grief, it’s easy to grow bitter. But what if this circumstance is the very place God is asking you to trust Him? We’re looking at Naomi’s life for the answer.

The path of comfort and convenience—or commitment and compassion. Which will you choose? From Ruth’s story, discover which path leads to temporary happiness and which path leads to life.

Are you wandering? Have you made your home in the far country, distant from the Lord? Naomi was a wanderer as well, but she didn’t stay far from God. His invitation is a simple one. "Come home."

Have you experienced the Lord’s discipline? It’s painful in the moment—yet it’s always for your good. Naomi learned this lesson in the book of Ruth. Through discipline, God drew her back home. Today, learn more about God’s redemptive discipline.

When trials come, are you tempted to escape? Elimelech and Naomi tried to run from famine by fleeing to Moab, but this wasn’t God’s best for them. Nancy tells you more about the consequences of escapism.
