Scripture is God-breathed and true. When we memorize it, we carry His Word with us wherever we go.
During our time in this reading plan, we have worked to memorize Ruth 4:14. Continue to repeat it to yourself as a reminder that our God is a God of redemption.
The women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the Lord, who has not left you without a family redeemer today. May his name become well known in Israel.”
—Ruth 4:14

I thank you God for sending my Redeemer and that he lives! I thank you that not only is his name well known in Israel but his name: Jesus- is the name above all names!❤️
Praying for your family this morning.
A friend and I, both of us single ladies, took great comfort in this scripture today. Christ is our redeemer, watching out for and over us.
@Churchmouse @Sarah D. @Susan praying for all of you during these times!
@Jennifer loves I really enjoyed your post today! Focusing on God first is something I struggle with from time to time. It’s so easy to see God’s goodness when things are good but it’s hard to remember that when things aren’t going the way you’d hope. I often have to remind myself God is good and everything he wants for us is good. Sometimes I have to take a step back from praying to have this or that happen and just remember to trust God.
@Churchmouse @Sarah D. @Susan praying for all of you during these times!
@Susan Lincks: praying for your healing and your encountering with God’s mighty rescue. May you come to experience how good He is.
@Churchmouse: praying for the safety of your daughter’s family in FL and granddaughter’s treatment tomorrow.
I really gleaned SO much from the book of Ruth, although I do know the story, I didn’t really “get it” before. But- now that I have felt that way personally in my life it really resonated with me this time! I had been married twice, and my second husband broke it off just 2 1/2 yrs into the marriage, breaking our new family of 3, new house, and new dreams. I was devasted. I really thought I was a failure, broken, thrown-away, division of friends and family…everything I had thought I had, was pulled out from under me (although, in retrospect, I was very blessed that he supported me and was a very good father with equal custody)! I did not dream I would be a single mom for 6 or so years. but I was realizing life happens, and we are not in control of things.
But God- I needed that valley in my life, I needed my focus to shift from myself to Him.
I told my husband that the story of Ruth reminded me that he was my Boaz, my redeemer. I prayed (and prayed…) and God answered my prayers and “miraculously” brought my husband and me together! I love that in this story, we know that Jesus is our ultimate Redeemer! The little things are coming together for those that love Him and pray to Him and follow Him. It doesn’t happen on OUR timeline, and it’s hard in the wait, in the valley, through the sorrow, threw the ugly cries!
I was able to share the story of our Redeemer with a young man that was open to receiving prayer the other night at our Homeless outreach. I let Him know that if he gives his trust to the Lord in earnest, he will see his life change. He may not see it instantly, but pay attention and watch Him work! God is good! I’m so blessed to share the many testimonies of what God has done with my life! So if you feel like nothing is happening with your prayers, hold tight, listen to the Holy Spirits nudging, and know He hears.
Me too!
I’ve loved this study
Sisters, in my devotional/journaling Bible I have a devotion for Ruth 4:14-15. Under this devotion is a section titled, “Reflection” and I would like to share this with you, I found it very enlightening and meaningful:
“There are three Key ingredients to living a beautiful life that honors God: BEING LED by the POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT, SEEKING GOD’S WILL with ALL our hearts, and FOLLOWING THE EXAMPLE of those who bear great spiritual fruit in their lives. When we HONOR GOD, we experience a heavenly harvest that will help us to TASTE AND SEE for ourselves that THE LORD IS GOOD.”
The emphasis is mine. I felt it was needed in those places.
Be blessed and live a life that honors our Lord and Savior, sisters.
‘…May His name be well known’ In our church it’s been mission month, and our theme is ‘Till the whole world hears’… May God’s name be well know to the ends of the earth.
Happy Sunday ❤️ “May His name become well known…” (Ruth 4:14b). I think of the way Jesus taught us to pray. When I focus on God first, I remember who He is and what He is like. I know Him well in my heart. His covenant love is sealed upon me and within me. His name is Father first in my heart. He is our Father. He loves His children. He loves me. Once this truth settles the dust in my spirit, I am at peace. When I need help, seek first my Father. Our Father in heaven. Open hands, letting go of worry. Open heart, praising His name because I know Him. I pray for more of His kingly rule in my heart and in my life. No matter what. “Your Kingdom come”, bringing peace and blessing. The only lasting peace comes from Jesus. “My peace I give to you…” (John 14:27); “take heart, I have conquered the world” (John 16:33); “Be strong and let your heart show strength, all you who wait for Yahweh” (Psalm 31:24). Stay full of the sweetness of God. Hate anything that lures me away from Him or His truth. An empty heart can be filled with many things. Take my questions to God, take my emptiness to Him to be filled with His answers. Slow down and wait for the filling. And out of His abundance, my life will pour out His name. Father, make this true in my life today, let Your sweetness satisfy my desires. Let Your love, mercy, and grace quiet and fill my soul. Your Kingdom has come, keep coming and filling my heart with Your goodness and truth. May Your will be done here on earth as it is in heaven. Until… Maranatha. Amen.

@Susan Lincks, praying for you right now. We are here have been redeemed, and you can as well. You’ve taken the first step for reaching out. Please know that you are covered in prayer by all of us here. @Sarah D., how nice that you’re spending time with your parents. I’m praying for her tomorrow’s appointment at all will go well and that you will get some answers. @Churchmouse, praying for your family in Florida that they will stay safe. Praying for your precious eight-year-old granddaughter and the procedure she’ll be having. Praying for the doctors who will be performing these procedures.
What a beautiful study. Have a blessed day!
Amen! I have had the same blessed experience as you reading through the book of Ruth. It’s the first I start and complete alongside the SHE community. And that’s because it was so captivating and such a blessing. I learned so much!! Have a blessed week ladies!

Good morning sisters! Thank you for your prayers.praying for you all. I am home with my parents this weekend and have some doctor’s appointments tomorrow, so I am hoping to get my doctor’s input on my anxiety. Would love your continued prayers!!
Also unrelated, but does anyone have good recommendations for a place to get my SRT Bible rebound? I know I asked before but I forgot to write down the name one of you gave! Thank you :)
I need to be redeemed God. I need Your healing so badly. Help me!!
Amen
@churchmouse praying for your family in Fl as well as your granddaughter! My in laws are in Florida as well.
CHURCHMOUSE – praying for your daughter’s family and for your granddaughter’s medical procedures.
Praying for all in Ian’s path, including ourselves.
Also for those in the Caribbean and Canada that Fiona damaged, and for those affected by the flooding in Alaska.
I’m always thankful to study through Ruth. God is good, always!
Prayer request for safety for our daughter and her little family in Florida as the hurricane heads in their direction. And also please pray for our 8 year old granddaughter who is having her tonsils removed as well as having a couple areas of venous malformation treated. That’s scheduled for tomorrow. I consider it a privilege to lift up the prayer requests you all mention. God is faithful to answer each and every one for our benefit
All the Shes who are weary, be encouraged by the words of the psalmist:
“I cry to the Lord; I call and call to him. Oh, that he would listen. I am in deep trouble and I need his help so much. All night long I pray, lifting my hands to heaven, pleading. There can be no joy for me until he acts. I think of God and moan, overwhelmed with longing for his help. I cannot sleep until you act. I am too distressed even to pray!
I keep thinking of the good old days of the past, long since ended. Then my nights were filled with joyous songs. I search my soul and meditate upon the difference now. Has the Lord rejected me forever? Will he never again be favorable? Is his loving-kindness gone forever? Has his promise failed? Has he forgotten to be kind to one so undeserving? Has he slammed the door in anger on his love? And I said: This is my fate, that the blessings of God have changed to hate. I recall the many miracles he did for me so long ago. Those wonderful deeds are constantly in my thoughts. I cannot stop thinking about them.
O God, your ways are holy. Where is there any other as mighty as you? You are the God of miracles and wonders! You still demonstrate your awesome power.” Psalm 77:1-14 (TLB)
@LEHUA.K thank you for your words of wisdom for those who struggle with anxiety- I passed it on to someone I know who struggles. Such eloquent words which said it much better than I could! Your use of “persistent” has really struck a chord with me: may we all keep our eyes firmly fixed on Jesus despite any challenges or obstacles because He is Faithful and True ❤️ Have a blessed Sunday everyone x
The Lord will always redeem His people. ♥️♥️♥️
