Let us Go to Bethlehem Ruth 1:1-22. We see in this chapter three mistakes that we must avoid as we deal with the problems and trials of life.1. Unbelief: Trying to run from our problems (Ruth 1:1-5). 2. Deception: Trying to hide our mistakes (Ruth 1:6-18). 3. Bitterness: Blaming God for our trials (Ruth 1:19-22).Life was not easy in those days; for during the period of the judges, “there was no king in Israel; but every man did what was right in his own eyes” In spite of alarms in the headlines and dangers on the streets, we can be sure that God still loves the world and wants to save lost sinners. When you know Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, no matter how tough the times may be, you are part of a beautiful love story. But the Book of Ruth is a harvest story as well as a love story. During this dark time in Israel’s history, God was seeking a bride and reaping a harvest. To be sure, Israel was reaping the harvest of their disobedience ; but God was producing the fruit of the Spirit in the lives of Ruth and Naomi. Today, the Lord is seeking a harvest and calls us to share in His labors . The harvest today is white and ready, but the laborers are still few. Ruth whom God used and blessed throughout the rest of this book; for Ruth was a woman who trusted God and was totally committed to Him. Naomi soon learned that God’s hand of blessing was on this young woman and that He would accomplish great things through her obedience.
