Positioning yourself- obedience

Rth 3:5 NET Ruth replied to Naomi, “I will do everything you have told me to do.”

It is not an easy decision for Ruth to follow Naomi after a series of death incidents. 

Not only did Ruth stick to her mother-in-law, she also decided to abide by every instructions. 

What this means is that Ruth foresee her chances of success in listening and obeying Naomi.

Ruth understood that Naomi knew the land more than her and can “make a way” for her to settle down in a new-found region. 

Ruth’s perception was unique and unparalleled. It takes a lot of trust and loyalty to exhibit this personality. 

For years and generations after, Ruth’s actions resonate even till today.

May we find the confidence to trust the saving grace of God, amen!
