>
>Ruth 1
>A Jewess, Naomi, and her two daughters-in-law lose their husbands.
>
>INSIGHT
>In Ruth, we see one of the most stirring examples of loyalty in the
>Bible. In spite of Naomi's urgings to the contrary, Ruth stays with her,
>looking not for personal fulfillment or material comfort but longing
>merely to maintain the relationship with one whom she loves. This
>loyalty comes from a pure heart, and it is not surprising that it
>extends not just to Naomi but also to the Lord.
>In stark contrast to Samson, Ruth's selflessness leads to beauty,
>fulfillment, and seeking the good of others. We should take instruction
>for our own lives and live as Ruth, not as Samson.
>
>PRAYER
>• Because we can have the beauty of the Lord in our lives, give thanks
>and praise to Him:
>Blessed be the name of the Lord from
>this time forth and forevermore! from
>the rising of the sun to its going down
>The Lord's name is to be praised. . . .
>Who is like the Lord our God,
>Who dwells on high,
>Who humbles Himself to behold
>The things that are in the heavens and in the earth? . . .
>He grants the barren woman a home,
>Like a joyful mother of children.
>Praise the Lord! (Psalm 113:2-3, 5-6, 9).
>
>• Pray this confession to the Lord as you seek to keep your life free
>from sin:
>Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O Lord;
>Let Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me.
>For innumerable evils have surrounded me;
>My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up;
>They are more than the hairs of my head;
>Therefore my heart fails me
>(Psalm 40:11-12).
>
>• Confess any sins that the Holy Spirit brings to your mind. Now pray
>this affirmation to the Lord:
>"He who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting
>life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into
>life" (John 5:24).
>
>• As you make your requests known to the Lord, pray for:
>• faithfulness with your talents,
>• your state and local leaders,
>• your activities for the day.
>• Offer this closing prayer to the Lord:
>To Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the
>preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery
>which was kept secret since the world began . . . to God, alone wise, be
>glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen (Romans 16:25, 27).

Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
