“And Naomi said to her Ruth, ‘Blessed
be he of the Lord who has not forsaken His kindness to the living and the dead’.”
Ruth 2:20
A little good news can go a long way. In a world where bad news
predominates, good news is as welcome as a cool drink on a hot day. It refreshes.
It strengthens. It revives. Ruth’s news to Naomi about where she gleaned and in
whose field she worked was the cool drink on a hot day for Naomi. She had
returned to Bethlehem and wanted to be called “Mara”, or Bitter. She had seemingly lost everything. and things
looked so dim that she felt abandoned by God. But she wasn’t.
God may be occasionally hidden from our clear vision, but He is never gone.
That Ruth had found favor from Boaz, a near relative, was the cool drink on a
hot day. God was there after all, God doesn’t forget us. We are His. That the clouds
of this world sometimes obscure our eyes doesn’t change the fact that God is
there. This is good news.
Dear Father, Thank You for always being there. Amen
