Ruth 1 (ESV)
Naomi Widowed
1 In the days when the judges ruled there was a famine in the land, and a man of Bethlehem in Judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons. 2 The name of the man was Elimelech and the name of his wife Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in Judah. They went into the country of Moab and remained there. 3 But Elimelech, the husband of Naomi, died, and she was left with her two sons. 4 These took Moabite wives; the name of the one was Orpah and the name of the other Ruth. They lived there about ten years, 5 and both Mahlon and Chilion died, so that the woman was left without her two sons and her husband.

Ruth's Loyalty to Naomi
6 Then she arose with her daughters-in-law to return from the country of Moab, for she had heard in the fields of Moab that the Lord had visited his people and given them food. 7 So she set out from the place where she was with her two daughters-in-law, and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah. 8 But Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go, return each of you to her mother's house. May the Lord deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me. 9 The Lord grant that you may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband!” Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voices and wept. 10 And they said to her, “No, we will return with you to your people.” 11 But Naomi said, “Turn back, my daughters; why will you go with me? Have I yet sons in my womb that they may become your husbands? 12 Turn back, my daughters; go your way, for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say I have hope, even if I should have a husband this night and should bear sons, 13 would you therefore wait till they were grown? Would you therefore refrain from marrying? No, my daughters, for it is exceedingly bitter to me for your sake that the hand of the Lord has gone out against me.” 14 Then they lifted up their voices and wept again. And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.

15 And she said, “See, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law.” 16 But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. 17 Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. May the Lord do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you.” 18 And when Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more.

Naomi and Ruth Return
19 So the two of them went on until they came to Bethlehem. And when they came to Bethlehem, the whole town was stirred because of them. And the women said, “Is this Naomi?” 20 She said to them, “Do not call me Naomi;[a] call me Mara,[b] for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. 21 I went away full, and the Lord has brought me back empty. Why call me Naomi, when the Lord has testified against me and the Almighty has brought calamity upon me?”

22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabite her daughter-in-law with her, who returned from the country of Moab. And they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.

  • @loridzojko205
    This is my first experience with this pastor's teaching and it certainly will not be my last. Such an honorable man and great teacher, with such gentleness and humility, yet challenging and uncompromising. I consider myself to be very blessed to have discovered this pastor and look forward to the many teachings available on this channel.

God bless you, Pastor, and thank you.

  • @Adi-sv2zk
    Please pray for me as I had made my decision to return to Christ as for past 49 yrs of my life I disobeyed God and I had lost so many opportunities & blessing in my life and I realised that is all because of my wrong decisions and sinful acts.
  • @please.665
    52:22 I can confess I have been a Mara. You waited til the end, to point out Mara. That's when it hits hard.
  • Thank you for being a blessing in my walk with the living God. May God bless you. Amen.

    God forgive me I have made many mistakes several times I took my life in my hands and kept you at the back burner of my life. I am sorry. Like Elemelec I have reasoned you out of many circumstances of my life. God please continue to help me in Jesus name.

    I've seen mycellf in the same position as Naiomi whereas I was given offspring from the Most High. I had to leave the home of my parents to sojourn throughout the US with my then Husband that I believed was given to me from the Most High. Long story short. Many things can and will happen along Life's paths but keeping God inside ur heart ❤ and sharing with other people is what I believe had kept me from being bitter. Just ad Job had lost everything and was tested. We too will be tested if we are standing for righteousness sake. Throughout it all, I still have my right mind and each day I awake to give praise and honour to the Most High. I will continue to observe the book of Ruth from the other YouTubers to see if I can find the complete meaning of it all. God willing I will revisit this channel to hear next week's presentation b'c I liked how the message was presented decently and in order. Thanks to all that helped out❤.

  • Pastor Daniel, I thank God for leading me to you. I am so blessed to hear your teaching. It is evident that you are anointed by God to teach the Word of God. Your insights are filled with such Wisdom. I look forward to many more of your teachings. May God bless you & grant you many Blessed years.
  • Thank you for today's message. I'm looking forward to chapter 2. But first, I need to study part 1 in more depth.
