Have you felt a day in your home with no hope?
As Naomi and Ruth arrived in Bethlehem from Moab, they had little to smile about. They were both widowed, poor, and with little hope. They clinched to the law of the land that allowed people such as they were to rummage through the left overs at the edge of the fields after a harvest. It’s important to read Chapter 2 of Ruth in one sitting because it represents one day’s work for both Naomi and Ruth. They woke up early facing a long hard day collecting scraps from the field only to return at sunset with an abundance of food and new hope from a new friend.
We have each faced days like those haven’t we? Waking up with little hope then reflecting back later that night of God’s provision and favor. Sometimes great favor. Sometimes small. But always present. In reading this chapter remember that the Lord’s favor is planned; it comes through others; and provides for the future.
As you set this time aside now to listen to the audio prayer, first pause as you reflect on how it feels to face a day without hope as you desperately seek the face of God.

We all have conflict in the home at times don’t we? It can be conflict between you and your spouse, with the children, or even in-laws. We can learn a lot about finding hope in our home from the Book of Ruth in the Old Testament. It was written to the people of Israel during a difficult time in their history. The book teaches us all that sincere love often requires sacrifice. We can learn from Ruth’s story that obedience in everyday life pleases God. We can learn about the loving, faithful nature of God in times of trouble. You can also see examples of how God responds to His people’s cry and then watch as He responds. God cares for you and the outcasts of our society. If you don’t feel hope in your home don’t despair…together lets learn from Naomi and Ruth how to find hope again.
