Ruth 1:16 But Ruth said, “Don’t press me to leave you and stop following you; for wherever you go, I will go; and wherever you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God will be my God.
What an amazing statement of faith by Ruth! In the ten years that she had spent with her husband, brother-in-law and mother-in-law she had learned about God.
Now she was standing firm and bringing glory to God; she wanted to be counted as one of God’s children just as she saw in Naomi.
Faith, respect and dependence all rolled up into one sentence that would speak volumes to the rest of the world.
Let us make a statement like Ruth, that we may be seen as humble, loving, kind, dependable and unmoving.
