Ok so there was an 0 yesterday too but this time it is in a different location! Today was 209. Just barely but it was still there! So today we go to Ruth chpt 2 verse 9 (so stinkin' exciting!)
"Watch the field where the men are harvesting, and follow along after the women. I have told the men not to lay a hand on you. And whenever you are thirsty, go and get a drink from the water jars the men have filled."
I have always wanted to study the book of Ruth. Seems like a sad story really. A woman (Naomi) is married has two sons who get married- her husband dies and then both of her sons die and so her one daughter in law comes back to live with her and take care of her.
20-21 But she said, “Don’t call me Naomi; call me Bitter. The Strong One has dealt me a bitter blow. I left here full of life, and God has brought me back with nothing but the clothes on my back. Why would you call me Naomi? God certainly doesn’t. The Strong One ruined me.”
Well that was an interesting story. It is a snapshot of how the lineage of David came to be which in turn is the lineage of Jesus. I am glad that Naomi later found favor with God and decided not to continue with the negativity that she had in chapter one but then later was happy in the following chapters and saw how God had favor on her family and she was redeemed and given a place to stay and grandchildren (sort of).
It is a great story to see how life turns out to the good even when you don't know what direction it may be going at the time. Kind of like my life right now with- not sure what this plan is that God has in store for me but I am sure He will work it out for His glory.
