Series: Ruth: A Redemption StoryIn Ruth 1, we see how one decision can radically alter the course of life. Elimelech’s choice to leave Bethlehem, Naomi’s urging her daughters-in-law to return to Moab, and Ruth’s determination to follow Naomi all highlight the powerful ripple effect of our choices.
This chapter reminds us that the safest decisions are those made in submission to God’s will and ways. Even in moments of desperation, God is at work orchestrating redemption.
