Ruth 1:1-5 - "Prodigal Family"
Update: 2025-09-28
Description
The opening scene of Ruth is a sobering picture of life lived by sight rather than by faith. By choosing ease, Elimelech removes himself and his family from the blessing of God. In every generation, we too face a similar crossroads. It may seem as though we too live in an age of spiritual famine; an age where each one does right in his own eyes. Will we find our comfort in compromise or in God's promises? God has promised to meet us when we keep our marriage vows, when we lean into faithful parenting and vocation, and in the ordinary means of grace as we gather with His people. We can be no wiser than God; we will not find blessing where He has not placed it. After deep suffering, Naomi had the humility to return to the Lord and to His people. God continues to take us where we are and not where we should have been. May we learn what this faithful widow learned, and what Christ Himself has promised – that if we seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, He will fill our hands with all good things.
