Ruth’s Wisdom Ruth’s story begins with a tragedy that leads her on a journey that would change her life. She loses everything, and yet, instead of wallowing in her grief, she puts it aside to help Naomi, who was bitter against God and life for the cruelty she had suffered. The journey from Moab to Israel was not pleasant. They faced famine and death, and through it all, Ruth listened patiently and served Naomi’s needs. We often times buck against someone in authority over us when they are trying to give us correction because we do not like their tone of voice or the words they chose or the point of the message they are conveying. These hard-lesson moments could be what set us on a life-changing journey if we listen and serve. We can learn from Ruth’s wisdom. We can hear our leaders, trust God to make the changes in us, and see His will come through our lives. He did it for Ruth quite literally; Jesus was born from Ruth’s descendants.
