HOPE THROUGH RUTH
What a great night of study Saturday, a special thanks to all the ladies who read through the book of Ruth for us as well as who shared the wisdom they have gleaned from studying the book.
We saw in Ruth that even through all her dire circumstances God ALWAYS had a plan. And although He eventually redeemed her God never fully revealed to her how He was using her life in such an amazing way. Nevertheless, Ruth remained faithful through her loyalty, strength, work ethic, obedience, love, and the list goes on and on.
THE CHALLENGE - Over dinner with your family this week:
1) Share a time in your life that was particularly difficult and how God redeemed it. Contemplate over and share how having that experience can give you hope the next time you face trials and hardships.
2) Share the character trait you admire most about Ruth and discuss how you can apply that trait to your life.
BONUS:
3) The Advent candle for the week is the candle of hope. Add the story of Ruth into your Advent rituals this week.
In Him,
Aaron
