Ruth 1:1-5; 4:13-17
This Sunday is a special time when we are reminded of our mothers. We're going to look together at an Old Testament survival story of a Jewish mother-in-law, Naomi, and her Moabite daughter-in-law, Ruth. In their story God shows his providential care for Jews and non-Jews alike during a devastating famine and the untimely death of loved ones. In the middle of the storms we're tempted to forget God, but his grace is always sufficient in our weakness; his perfect plan and his unconditional love are always acting on our behalf.
