Text: Ruth1:1 (NIV)
In the
days when the judges ruled,[a] there
was a famine in the land. So a man from Bethlehem in Judah, together
with his wife and two sons, went to live for a while in the country of
Moab.
Friends, we should remember that there are seasons in life as
we recognise there will certainly be hard times. But, what do you do when the
season is not favourable as expected? From the scripture above, we can see there
was famine in the land ie a time of scarcity during the rulership of the
Judges. Yes, but this made the family of
Elimelech to depart and sojourn in the country of Moab. However, this motive
was for a greener pasture but turn out to make Naomi a widow. Hence, we shall
not embark on wrong journey because of difficult season because it will come to
pass. Gen.12:10 And there was a famine in the land: and
Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there: for the famine was grievous in the
Land.
Unfortunately, this decision
brought about loses that left Naomi with unforgettable pain to destiny. Ruth 1:20 And she said unto them, call me not Naomi, call me Mara:
for the almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. This is why we must allow God to direct us in
decision and choices even in deprivation moment. A lot of people has made
painful decision that they paid dearly for. Therefore, we should learn to move
by divine direction and not by our physical needs as many do consider what eat and
drink. I pray, God help us not to walk out of temporary pain and suffer heavy
loss tomorrow in Jesus name.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, help
us to seek the face of God in family and destiny decisions as God knows the end
from the beginning in Jesus name.
ACTION QUOTE: Remember, it
is the mercy of God that can terminate our mistakes in destiny.
