Ruth Bible study 2

V6 - V22

The abundance or lack is based on the visitation of the Lord.

But when there is lack, do you run away from presence of the Lord or do you still linger in his presence.

When there is feasting, so many people will come, but when there is fasting prayers , very few will come.

Lord visited by giving them bread.

Sometimes when there is lack or problem, we withdraw from God's presence or God's people, and try to deal in loneliness.
We appear as if the whole worlds problems are upon us.
We appear as if nobody else has problems.

So many people in Bethlehem, but only why this family came to moab.

Nothing shall separate us from love of Christ.

V8-9

The Words of Naomi, her words are centered around the Lord.

Too many of us , when speak we center our words on manyother factors.

Example: black Friday deal, Walmart gave super deal.
The Lord opened the deal for my sake.

But since we are too consumed with the things of the World, we don't realize Gods hand in our provision.

Fellowship:

Her people, her gods,
When a person is moving to a place it symbolizes not only the people, but the gods they worship.

If you enter certain people, you talk their language, you do what they do, you follow their practices, and all the pagan practices.

Now let's look at Ruth's commitment
But Ruth said: “Entreat me not to leave you, Or  to turn back from following after you; For wherever you go, I will go; And wherever you lodge, I will lodge; Your people shall  be my people, And your God, my God.
Ruth 1:16 NKJV

What is left with Naomi?
No children to take care

No home, no fields to work for to get food.

No familiarity.

But she saw something or orpah could not see.

That is Spiritual life.

She saw that Noami's God is real.

She saw that there might not be luxury, there might not be wordly fun, but just as Ruth have decided this is what I look for.

Peter says where can I go , you have words of eternal life.

Lot although a righteous man has left Abraham.

Elisha decided that he will not leave Elijah.

Your Fellowship with people reveal your true heart for God.
