Ruth1:15-18
I. Key Idea
What would you like to thank God for living up to this moment in your life?
Giving your children?A keeping your health?A able to meet your lifetime partner?A job?A school?A there are many more things that you can think of appreciation. It is such a thankful thing that we can think of many appreciation to God which also means God takes care of our life one by one. It is because our Father Lord is good God. Our Father who helps us when we need help?A who is next to us when we are going through hard time?A who fulfills our needs and it is very thankful.
However?A there is more important matter that we want to appreciate and that is we have God and He exists . Have you ever thank our God that he exists? It is the highest appreciation that we need to give that God exists in our life.
Orpah left from Naomi. So Naomi told Ruth Follow your sister-in-law back home! But Ruth replied the well known phrase?A Stop urging me to abandon you! For wherever you go?A I will go. Wherever you live?A I will live. Your people will become my people?A and your God will become my God. Which it has hidden amazing meaning in here. Who are we?A ourselves? God ordered us not to pursue peace and happiness for Moab?A and herself who is Moab and who is woman. Who is lowly person?A God of Judah who created universe became the Father Lord. We just read these phrases but this is the confession which shows her highest appreciation. We are the same as Ruth. We have to thank that He is our God in our life as we are foreigner.
