Orpah kissed her mother
Ruth clung to her
Your God will be my God
Did she know how powerful her God is?
How kind
How merciful and kind
How full of grace
How awesome
She saw something…
Or was it someone?
A people
Their God
Their journey
Communion
This God
A hope
The light for the nation’s
Two stories
Two women
One a believer
Though he may slay me, I will hope in him. Job 13:15
Naomi clung to God
Her rock and strength
Her redeemer
She let her come
And when Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more. Ruth 2:18 (ESV)
Others saw and rejoiced
Trusting in this God
Who meets people
Rescues them
Saves them
The Lord repay you for what you have done, and a full reward be given you by the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge!” Ruth 2:12 (ESV)
This our God
Our only hope
The only hope
Selah
