Ruth was a real person who lived in ancient times and her
life was not an easy one. Ruth wasn’t
even an Israelite at first; she was a Moabite.
Ruth’s husband dies, along with his brother and as well as his father. Naomi, Ruth’s mother-in-law, decides to
return to Israel and tells both of her daughters-in-law to go back to their
father’s home, because she has nothing more to give them. Plus Naomi is hoping they can remarry and
find happiness.
So why doesn’t Ruth do as Naomi bids? Why does she cling to her mother-in-law and
return with her to care for her in a land not her own to a people she knows little
about? Well, the five habits the author
draws from the book of Ruth found in the Old Testament might help you unearth
the heart behind Ruth’s choices.
Yes, there is a video that is available for the study, but
not necessary to have in order to do the study.
I liked that part a lot. In the
video session, sheets are distributed with questions to stimulate discussion on
a personal level. If people choose, they
can take notes from the video lesson.
Then, there are questions for people to talk about as to what was
learned and how it can be applied to individual lives.
There is homework that will enhance and enlighten the past
to show us how it can and does impact our lives today. At the end of each week is something called
Q.U.I.T. strategy that helps us put feet to what our hearts and minds have been
touched by. After all, what good would
it be if we just gathered head knowledge without walking out what God has
spoken to our hearts to do?
