A reflection on Ruth 1, emptiness, faithful love, and the God who works beyond what we can see—dwelling in what the text tells us and, at times, what its silences invite us to imagine.
You do such a good job of seeing Naomi and her husband‘s decision to sojourn in Moab through compassionate eyes. I have heard judgment preached against both.
You sound like someone who has the spiritual gift of mercy.
I also enjoy the bread theme you brought out that I have never noticed before.
Oh thank you so much! When I think of them going to Moab I think of how scary it must have been to go especially there. Maybe it’s like when famine hit and the fathers would go to Egypt? I don’t know but I wonder. It must have taken trust and courage I would think.
The bread throughout Ruth I find amazing! I’m glad it opened something for you! 🥰
Thank you for your gracious words and for sharing how this landed with you. So encouraging my dear friend and sister. Blessings!
This is a great perspective into those 3 widows. Great lessons for us there. And I love the aspect of none of them knowing what was next. It really is good for us to try and read from their perspective. Try and forget what we know is coming next and read on the edge of our seats with them. Thanks.
Thank you so very much for your thoughts. It is encouraging to think that our ordinary moments of love and faithfulness are being worked into a tapestry we may never see the full end of in our earthly life. I am so encouraged to is blessed you. Thank you for blessing me with your insights as well.
