Grace for your spirit
Don't call me Naomi, " she told them. "Call me Mara, because the Almighty has made my life very bitter. Ruth 1:20
Naomi had just returned to Judah from Moab. It had been a bad trip. Her only two sons died there, and now a daughter in law named Ruth had returned with her. They had no visible means of support nor any prospects. In her tribulation, Naomi chose a path of righteous living for her and Ruth over other ungodly options. She was repaid richly for her faithfulness. A kinsman redeemer blessed her life, married Ruth, and produced a child that would begin the family of King David. As they placed the child in her lap, the women said to Naomi, "Blessed is the Lord who has not left you without a redeemer today." Ruth and this child would bless her in her old age. Naomi took the "high road". God has provided a redeemer for us too in Jesus. It is the only right road for us for true blessings.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
