Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed of the Lord who has not withdrawn his kindness to the living and to the dead.” (Ruth 2:20, NASB 95)
It’s amazing the difference a chapter can make.
In chapter 1, Naomi was bitter against God saying that he had turned against her. (Ruth 1:13, 20-21)
But now she realizes the truth: despite all the evil in her life, God had never abandoned her. Rather, he still deeply loved her.
Maybe you are feeling like Naomi, caught in the pain cycle of your grief.
You feel God like has turned against you.
You feel like he has abandoned you.
But the truth is, he’s good and he loves you.
And if instead of running from him, you’ll make him your refuge, coming under his wings (12), you will eventually come to see that.
