Today, I would like to talk about the faith and filial piety of Ruth, who was married to her mother-in-law Naomi and raised the royal family of David. It is recorded that Ruth, a weak young widow, received God's blessing and became a member of David's royal family by holding on to God's truth and devoting herself to her mother-in-law Naomi despite trials and adversity.
What did Naomi lose when she left Bethlehem and went to Moab, the land of the Gentiles?
Husband and sons, religious zeal, God's protection, joy, God's blessing.
What did Naomi gain by returning?
Faith and filial piety Ruth, a faith comrade in Bethlehem, realized that those who left the Lord and the temple would perish, gained descendants of faith, and found joy.
He recovered spiritually and spent his old age watching the jokes of the blessed descendants every day. In old age, Naomi became the most blessed person. Naomi, who was alone after losing her husband and two sons in a foreign land, rose from difficulties in the midst of tribulation, repented of her mistakes, and trusted God, the savior, to stand in the greatest level of salvation in history, as well as educate her self-confidence in faith. I found joy.
Ruth's Faith and Respect for Parents
Ruth's devotion was decisive, and she endured hardships in order to receive blessings. Industrious, humble, obedient, and well respected mother-in-law. Believers must be thorough in respecting their parents. That is biblical. When he returned to Bethlehem and to the temple of the Lord, God gave him Ruth, a beautiful woman of faith.
a virtuous woman
The image of a virtuous woman in Proverbs speaks in 31:10. “Who will find a virtuous woman, and her armor is greater than pearls?”
I pray that your families will be full of joy and hope like Naomi's beautiful old family with faith that draws closer to God.
