With Ruth 1:16–18, we continue our survey of Bible books. Ruth is a book of hope in God’s providence. It is not only a beautiful story of grace toward Ruth, but it also shows God’s providence in the preparation of the Davidic line. Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven preaches blessings come with the harvest, blessings come with loyalty to Yahweh, and God’s anticipation of the Davidic line.
“Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God.”
