Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this show me about God?

    • Ruth chooses Naomi's God as well as Naomi. What does it tell you about God that a foreigner wanted him?
  2. What does it show me about people — and about me?

    • Naomi has nothing to offer and Ruth stays anyway. What does real loyalty cost?
  3. What will I obey this week?

    • Who will you stay close to this week, especially if they are sad?
  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who do you know who feels left behind? What will you do about it?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

God, Ruth left everything to stay with Naomi and to follow you. Thank you for people who stay. Help me be somebody who does not leave when things get hard.
