Ruth 1:1-5

Ruth 1:8-13
Go back, each of you...
Naomi urges her daughters-in-law to return to their own people. Why? Put these options in order of priority.

"Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried."

Grieving yields faith
Naomi & Ruth's connection will continue and find some joyful resolution in the coming chapters - but they had NO WAY of knowing that was going to be the case. All they have at this point is emptiness, loss, and a long walk to Judea. That’s what faith often looks like in grief. You don't know the ending, but you're called to trust anyway. You aren't seeing the good yet, but you're called to act as if God is still at work.

May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me.
- RUTH, in Ruth 1:17

Thank You
