In this story of Naomi and Ruth, the husbands of Naomi, Ruth, and the other daughter-in-law____ had all died. Naomi has learned there is food back in Bethlehem where she is from and decides to leave Moab and go back to Bethlehem.
The story of Naomi and Ruth is a testament to a great relationship between a mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law.
For Ruth to say that she wanted Naomi's God to be her God, and that she wanted to die and be buried where Naomi was buried testifies not only of what a great person Naomi was, but also that Naomi represented God well.
The question we should ask ourselves is, "are we good representatives for God in all we do and say?"
Do you act differently outside the home than inside the home? Do you put on your best behavior outside the home, but let down your guard inside the home? How do you act in front of family?
We must act Christ like at all times. We can do it by the power of the Holy Spirit.
