Wise Quotes - GOD'S PROMISES!

Ruth trusted in Naomi to follow her back to Bethlehem in Judah when she had lost her father in law and her husband. Try to imagine this story in this day and age and ask yourself, 'Would i go with Naomi?'. I'm sure your answer will be a straight up no or there will be a lot to think about before making a decision. 

But guess what? Ruth new that The God Naomi served was a faithful God so she didn't even think twice and said to Naomi,“Do not urge me to leave you or to 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, and your God, my God. Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord do the same to me [as He has done to you], and more also, if anything but death separates me from you.” Ruth 1:16-17(AMP)*

Wow! What a trustworthy person Naomi must have been for Ruth to follow her.......In today's wise quote, we're looking at Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.(NKJV)*

Trusting in God means going out of your way just as Ruth did to follow Him. The Word of God says to trust in Him with ALL our hearts and lean not on our own understanding. It is very questionable for Ruth who was a Moabite and no longer had any connection with Judah to have followed Naomi but she did because she knew The Lord is a Mighty One who would direct their every move.

The story ends with Ruth marrying one of the richest and prominant men (Boaz) in the land and becoming the great grand mother of King David, who is also an ancestor of Jesus Christ. Need i say more? Just trust in God as His promise is giving you today and He will never let you down. Have a blessed day mediating on this.
