Please read Ruth 1.

Meditate on verse 19.

So they both went until they came to Bethlehem.

 And when they had come to Bethlehem, all the city was stirred because of them,

and the women said, "Is this Naomi?"

Naomi and Ruth were in a hopeless situation. Their husbands were dead; they had no children, and they lived during a time when women relied heavily on husbands and sons to provide for them. They needed a savior! Ruth insisted on staying with her beloved mother-in-law, entering into a covenant relationship by committing to never leave God or Naomi. The promises made by Ruth led her to Bethlehem where the Almighty would perform the miraculous on behalf of her, Naomi, and all of humanity.

As you continue reading the beloved book of Ruth, you will be reading the Christmas story. You, too, will journey with Naomi and Ruth to Bethlehem, being stirred by the hand of the Almighty. As you spend these next four days of the CHRISTmas holy days, in Bethlehem, be filled with hope for what the Almighty will miraculously do in your life, too.

Start your journey to Bethlehem, recommitting yourself to God by praying Ruth 1:16-17.

“LORD, I will never leave You or turn back

 from following You, for where You go, I will go,

 and where You lodge, I will lodge.  Your people will be

my people because You are my God.

 LORD, thank You that not even death will part me from You.

Because of You, LORD Jesus~”
