From Bethlehem to Moab, and Back Again: 5 Day Bible Plan

Dia 1 de 5

Day 1

Ruth 1:1 In the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land. So, a man from Bethlehem in Judah, together with his wife and two sons, went to live for a while in the country of Moab. 

In my twenties, I had surgery that left me struggling to walk. The hospital loaned me a wheelchair. It was uncomfortable – both for rider and for pusher – but it was only temporary. I wouldn’t need it for long. I’d soon be back on my feet. Except I wasn’t. I still sometimes need a wheelchair today, 20 years later. Temporary was more permanent than I thought.

At the beginning of the book of Ruth, we read that a man called Elimelek went to live in a place called Moab ‘for a while’. A couple of verses later, we read that Elimelek died there.

He died in a place he’d only intended to be in ‘for a while’.

Mark 14:38 Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Reflect: Is there anything in your life that could be drawing you away from God?

Prayer: Father God, help me be aware of things that sneak in and get in the way of my relationship with You. Amen

From Bethlehem to Moab, and Back Again: 5 Day Bible Plan

The first chapter of Ruth covers a lot of ground, literally and metaphorically. This plan looks at some of that journey and parallels it with the ups and downs in our own life journeys, reflecting on how God is always with us, and encouraging us to look for Him in every day.
