Obed talks about his career journey, which led him from a very lucrative position at an accounting firm to founding his own more holistic business model that focuses on a comprehensive view of client finances. He explains how his firm differs from more traditional accounting firms and how that leads his team to be able to understand tax insights that other firms may miss. Wing and Obed discuss in practical terms how Obed's approach to clients differs, and how he spends a significant amount of time getting to know the client and their overall situation during discovery. His team focuses more on total wealth planning instead of just tax filing year to year. Obed offers advice from his experience on things everyone should be looking at in terms of tax planning, from deferred income and salaries versus dividends to estate planning and income splitting opportunities. He explains to Wing that the simplicity of financial hygiene and long-term impact lead to a greater return on investment and the right tax strategy is very much part of that equation. This episode gives valuable insights into what to look for in terms of overall accounting practices that take more than just a single tax return into consideration year by year.About Obed Maurice: Obed Maurice, CPA, CA, CFP, stands out as an accomplished holistic financial planner with a wealth of experience and a commendable track record.

In this powerful Morning Prayer session, Pastor Sean Pinder teaches from Ruth 4:9–17 and shares a message of hope, redemption, and divine restoration. Just as God restored everything Naomi and Ruth had lost—bringing them from sorrow to joy and from emptiness to fullness—He is able and willing to fully restore what's been broken in your life.Through the story of Boaz redeeming Ruth, we are reminded that God never forgets His people. Your faithfulness, even in difficult times, is not in vain. There is a turnaround coming. The same God who restored Naomi's family line through Obed, the grandfather of King David, is working behind the scenes for your good.

Shavuot- Being G-d's Servants The Mechilta famously tells that before G-d gave the Torah to Beneh Yisrael, He offered it to other nations. He first asked the descendants of Esav if they wanted the Torah, and they replied by questioning what the Torah demanded. G-d said that the Torah forbids murder – whereupon the people of Esav said they could not possibly abide by such a command. G-d then offered the Torah to the nation of Moab, and they, too, asked what it entailed. He said that it forbids immorality, illicit intimate relationships – and the people of Moab refused. G-d then offered the Torah to the nation of Yishmael. When they heard that the Torah forbids stealing, they declined. One of the commentators to the Mishna – the Mirkebet Ha'mishneh (Rav David Moshe Abraham Ashkenazi, 1680-1745) – explains the meaning and significance of this story. The Mechilta here is teaching us that accepting the Torah requires accepting the parts of the Torah that we find difficult, that force us to go against our natural instincts and inclinations. Hashem first told the people of Esav about the prohibition of murder – because they were violent by nature, and in order to accept the Torah, they needed to commit to restraining their violent impulse. This is something they were not prepared to do. And the same is true of Moab and immorality, and Yishmael and theft. The first thing G-d told each of them was the command which they would find most difficult – because this is precisely what accepting the Torah requires: that we be prepared to break our nature, to act in opposition to our instinctive tendencies. Rav Yisrael Salanter, in one of his more famous letters ( Or Yisrael , 17), elaborates on this concept, on the need to observe the Torah even when this is difficult, when this requires struggle. He writes that even if a person observes many Misvot, and generally follows a religious lifestyle, he might still not earn the title "Ebed Hashem" – a servant of Hashem. An "Ebed," a servant, is somebody who works ("Obed"). If a person fulfills Misvot only when he finds it convenient, what it does not entail hardship or difficulty, then he is not working, and so he is not actually serving Hashem. We become Hashem's servants only when we commit to observe even those Misvot which we find challenging, to abide by Hashem's rules even when this demands a great deal of struggle. There is a famous Yiddish expression among Ashkenazi Jews, "Shver tsu zayn a Yid" – "It is difficult to be a Jew." This expression is commonly viewed with disdain, as something one should never say, as it reflects a cynical, negative attitude toward Judaism. We are to be proud of Jewish life and always emphasize – to ourselves, to our children, and to others – the unparalleled joy and beauty of Torah life. I would suggest, however, a different perspective on this expression, that it makes an important and powerful comment about what Judaism is all about. Being a Jew means remaining committed even when this is difficult. Of course, Jewish life is, generally, beautiful. But often, it requires struggling to overcome difficult challenges. And accepting the Torah means committing ourselves to follow the Torah even when this requires struggle. Thus, indeed, "it is difficult to be a Jew" – being a Jew means accepting that it will sometimes be difficult. When Hashem came to Beneh Yisrael to offer them the Torah, they immediately responded with the resounding declaration, "Na'aseh Ve'nishma" – "We will perform and we will hear" (Shemot 24:7). Curiously, however, the Gemara (Shabbat 88a) tells that Hashem suspended the mountain over Beneh Yisrael and threatened to drop it on them if they did not accept the Torah. Many commentators raised the question of why Hashem needed to threaten Beneh Yisrael after they had enthusiastically expressed their commitment by declaring "Na'aseh Ve'nishma." One answer is that Hashem sought to impress upon them the obligation to observe the Torah under all circumstances, even when it is difficult and inconvenient. It was easy to announce "Na'aseh Ve'nishma" – but there would be many times in the future when they would be far less enthusiastic, when Torah observance would be a challenge, when they would need to struggle. G-d therefore held the mountain over them – to make it clear that they were becoming His servants, and this means serving Him even when this requires hard work. We must serve Hashem not only when we are "in the mood," when we feel like it, but even when we don't. Every person has his own set of struggles in Torah observance. What comes easy for one person is a struggle for somebody else. We need to each find our own weaknesses, our own areas of struggle, the parts of Torah observance which pose a special challenge for us. We must then make the commitment to accept this struggle, to work hard, to put in the effort, to do the best we can, to serve Hashem to the very best of our ability even when we find it difficult.

«A medianoche se oyó un grito: ‘¡Ahí viene el novio! ¡Salgan a recibirlo!'» (Mateo 25:6 NVI) Hoy, el Espíritu de Dios te está comunicando un mensaje vital: ¡Prepárate para la venida de Jesús! Es un mensaje muy antiguo, pero existe una nueva urgencia en éste, el cual no puedes darte el lujo de pasar por alto. Algunos creyentes cometen el error de decir: “Bueno, no se supone que sepamos el tiempo de la Segunda Venida. ¡Se supone que Jesús vendrá como un ladrón en la noche!” Pero están equivocados. La Palabra de Dios dice que como hijos de la luz, no debiéramos ser tomados por sorpresa. Deberíamos tener tal agudeza espiritual que aunque no sepamos el día ni la hora, deberíamos reconocer que estamos en el tiempo de la venida de Jesucristo. 1Corintios 2:10 nos dice que Dios nos ha dado a conocer Sus planes mediante Su Espíritu. Me imagino que aquellos que andan en el Espíritu, en el día en que el Señor vuelva, comenzarán a anticipar que algo está por suceder. Actúa como las cinco vírgenes prudentes de Mateo 25, las cuales estaban preparadas cuando la llegada del novio fue anunciada. ¡Vive lleno del aceite del Espíritu Santo y con tu luz brillando! Que no te sorprendan durmiendo cuando Jesús vuelva. Deja que el Espíritu Santo te ponga en la senda correcta y te prepare para tu Señor. Porque así como Jesús lo predijo, hay un clamor que se oye a la medianoche. El Espíritu del Señor está anunciando Su venida. ¿Puedes oírlo en tu espíritu? ¿Puedes sentir al Señor diciendo: Levántate y ven a Mi encuentro. Ten comunión conmigo. Entra en la luz ahora, y en esa hora crucial estarás en Mis planes. Obedécelo ahora mismo, porque «…¡ahí viene el novio!…».

Chapter 1 Focused NurturerChapter 2 Reluctant LeaderChapter 3 Exhausted FighterChapter 4 Resurrected HoperChapter 5 Generation AdvancerMotherhood Chapter 1 Focused NurturerThe keys to thriving in this chapter is to understand that… 1) this is a relatively short chapter in the scope of your whole story 2) you will get better at “mothering” as you go 3) live in the moment more than you long for the next moment Husbands/Father's it's not that you don't have a hand in the nurturing chapter it's just that what your family really needs is for you to Cover Spiritually, Lead Faithfully and Work Diligently. Motherhood Chapter 2 Reluctant LeaderLife has a way of making demands for which we aren't ready. “Where you go, I will go and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.” When you find yourself in the reluctant leader chapter, God will lead you out but you have to walk out. Motherhood Chapter 3 Exhausted FighterNo one is the same after a hard life/spiritual fight and you're not supposed to be, you're are supposed to be wiser and stronger – “battle tested” – this is a good thing but it is an exhausting thing.Your next life chapter is interconnected to your past chapters but your future is not dictated by those chapters – your future is 100% dependent on God. God never wastes our hard, He uses it to glorify Him and strengthen us. Remember, this chapter isn't a dead end, it's a new life beginning. Motherhood Chapter 4 Resurrected HoperBiblical hope is not a wish, it is a confident expectation that God's got this and God's got you! Hope has the ability to sustain life in its darkest, emptiest moments. Psalm 121 (NIV) A Psalm of Assent I lift up my eyes to the mountains — where does my help come from? [In this context you could say, ‘where does my hope come from']2 My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. 3 He will not let your foot slip — he who watches over you will not slumber; 4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The Lord watches over you — the Lord is your shade at your right hand; 6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The Lord will keep you from all harm — he will watch over your life; 8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.Motherhood Chapter 5 Generation AdvancerRuth 4:13-17 (NIV) 13 So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife. When he made love to her, the Lord enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son. 14 The women said to Naomi: “Praise be to the Lord, who this day has not left you without a guardian-redeemer. May he become famous throughout Israel! 15 He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age. For your daughter-in-law, who loves you and who is better to you than seven sons, has given him birth.” 16 Then Naomi took the child in her arms and cared for him. 17 The women living there said, “Naomi has a son!” And they named him Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of David.Your story is a good story and you are not alone in your story. Your current chapter is a link in a chain. Let me encourage you…Don't get stuck in a chapter.Don't define your life by one chapter. One chapter doesn't define you so one chapter can't defeat you.Carry hope in every chapter.Be encouraged in what God can do through a life committed to Him and His purposes. “Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan Press On! has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.” Calvin Coolidge 30th President of the Unites States of AmericaGalatians 6:9 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

One of the first questions the scholars tend to ask is, Who wrote this book and when was it written? The Talmud refers to Samuel as the author of Ruth, but scholars, generally speaking, say: No, Samuel died before David became king and the way in which the author writes the genealogy in Ruth, chapter four—right at the end of the Book of Ruth—supposes that this whole lineage is well known to the people who are reading it. It talks about this child that is born and Naomi takes him, lays him in her lap, and cares for him. And the woman living there said, Naomi has a son, and they named him Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of David. This, then, is the family line of Perez. Perez was the father of Hezron, Hezron the father of Ram, Ram of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of Nashon, Nashon the father of Salmon, Salmon the father of Boaz—who is the male lead in this play—and Boaz the father of Obed, who is the father of Jesse, and Jesse is the father of David. Now, what is this book about? Well it's about David, as a matter of fact, about what leads up to him.

La oración transforma hogares y restaura familias. Este viernes, el devocional nos invita a buscar a Dios en intimidad, cerrar la puerta del corazón al ruido exterior y levantar un altar en el hogar. A través de ejemplos bíblicos como la presencia del arca en casa de Obed-edom, aprendemos cómo la presencia de Dios trae luz, gozo y prosperidad. Se nos anima a orar por nuestras familias, a interceder por aquellos que no conocen a Cristo y a declarar que nuestros hogares pertenecerán al Señor. Un tiempo para renovar la fe, declarar libertad y creer que veremos milagros en nuestra casa.
Ruth 4 — Jesus My Redeemer In the final chapter of Ruth, the story comes full circle: from brokenness and emptiness to restoration and joy. Boaz steps forward as Ruth's kinsman-redeemer—and in doing so, he points us to a far greater Redeemer: Jesus Christ. In this message, we'll walk through: ✅ Boaz at the gate — a man on mission, full of integrity and purpose. ✅ Ruth, the redeemed — once an outsider, now grafted into the family of God. ✅ Naomi, once bitter and empty, now overflowing with joy and holding baby Obed—grandfather of King David. This chapter is more than a love story. It's a gospel story. Ruth reminds us that we were the outsiders, in need of rescue. But Jesus, our greater Boaz, paid the price and brought us in. Now we stand redeemed—free, forgiven, and full of hope.

It is FRI-YAY! And shout-out day. Today, Pastor Jeff shares that God planned for each person in our family to be born and to keep on with the family line. Ruth 4:18-22 18 This, then, is the family line of Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron, 19 Hezron the father of Ram, Ram the father of Amminadab, 20 Amminadab the father of Nahshon, Nahshon the father of Salmon, 21 Salmon the father of Boaz, Boaz the father of Obed, 22 Obed the father of Jesse, and Jesse the father of David.
Matthew 1:1-17This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham:2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, 3 Judah the father of Perez and Zerah, whose mother was Tamar, Perez the father of Hezron, Hezron the father of Ram, 4 Ram the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, Nahshon the father of Salmon, 5 Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab, Boaz the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth, Obed the father of Jesse, 6 and Jesse the father of King David. David was the father of Solomon, whose mother had been Uriah's wife, 7 Solomon the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, Abijah the father of Asa, 8 Asa the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Jehoram, Jehoram the father of Uzziah, 9 Uzziah the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, 10 Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon, Amon the father of Josiah, 11 and Josiah the father of Jeconiahand his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.12 After the exile to Babylon:Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, 13 Zerubbabel the father of Abihud, Abihud the father of Eliakim, Eliakim the father of Azor, 14 Azor the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Akim, Akim the father of Elihud, 15 Elihud the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, Matthan the father of Jacob, 16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary,and Mary was the mother of Jesus who is called the Messiah.17 Thus there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Messiah.

In this concluding message of the "Love in Action" series, Matthew explores the beautiful story of redemption found in Ruth chapter 4. Beginning with the image of an adopted child finding belonging, the sermon draws parallels to how God's redemptive love transforms lives from uncertainty to joy. The message explores three key aspects of redemption: The Process of Redemption (Ruth 4:1-12): Through Boaz's careful legal proceedings at the city gate, we see how redemption follows God's ordered timing rather than our hurried plans. Boaz's willingness to pay a price for Ruth and Naomi's land reminds us that meaningful redemption always requires sacrifice. This process also highlights how restoration happens within community, not in isolation. The Purpose of Redemption (Ruth 4:13-17): God's redemptive work restores what was lost, though sometimes in unexpected ways. The transformation is striking - Naomi moves from bitterness to blessing, Ruth from foreigner to family member, and Obed from potential outcast to ancestor of kings. Most importantly, redemption's impact extends beyond the immediate recipients, affecting future generations. The Promise in Redemption (Ruth 4:18-22): What appears to be a simple genealogy reveals God's greater plan - Ruth and Boaz's great-grandson would be King David, from whose line would come Jesus Christ. This reminds us that our current struggles may be preparation for something greater than we can imagine. The story showcases how God includes unlikely people in His redemptive plan and points forward to Christ, our ultimate Kinsman-Redeemer. The sermon concludes with the powerful truth that "God redeems our darkest chapters into His most beautiful stories," challenging listeners to trust God in their own "bitter" seasons and to consider how they might participate in God's redemptive work in others' lives.

Chapter 4 of Ruth.Boaz went to the town gate and took a seat there. Just then the family redeemer he had mentioned came by, so Boaz called out to him, “Come over here and sit down, friend. I want to talk to you.” So they sat down together. Then Boaz called ten leaders from the town and asked them to sit as witnesses. And Boaz said to the family redeemer, “You know Naomi, who came back from Moab. She is selling the land that belonged to our relative Elimelech. I thought I should speak to you about it so that you can redeem it if you wish. If you want the land, then buy it here in the presence of these witnesses. But if you don't want it, let me know right away, because I am next in line to redeem it after you.”The man replied, “All right, I'll redeem it.”Then Boaz told him, “Of course, your purchase of the land from Naomi also requires that you marry Ruth, the Moabite widow. That way she can have children who will carry on her husband's name and keep the land in the family.”“Then I can't redeem it,” the family redeemer replied, “because this might endanger my own estate. You redeem the land; I cannot do it.”Now in those days it was the custom in Israel for anyone transferring a right of purchase to remove his sandal and hand it to the other party. This publicly validated the transaction. So the other family redeemer drew off his sandal as he said to Boaz, “You buy the land.”Then Boaz said to the elders and to the crowd standing around, “You are witnesses that today I have bought from Naomi all the property of Elimelech, Kilion, and Mahlon. And with the land I have acquired Ruth, the Moabite widow of Mahlon, to be my wife. This way she can have a son to carry on the family name of her dead husband and to inherit the family property here in his hometown. You are all witnesses today.”Then the elders and all the people standing in the gate replied, “We are witnesses! May the Lord make this woman who is coming into your home like Rachel and Leah, from whom all the nation of Israel descended! May you prosper in Ephrathah and be famous in Bethlehem. And may the Lord give you descendants by this young woman who will be like those of our ancestor Perez, the son of Tamar and Judah.”So Boaz took Ruth into his home, and she became his wife. When he slept with her, the Lord enabled her to become pregnant, and she gave birth to a son. Then the women of the town said to Naomi, “Praise the Lord, who has now provided a redeemer for your family! May this child be famous in Israel. May he restore your youth and care for you in your old age. For he is the son of your daughter-in-law who loves you and has been better to you than seven sons!”Naomi took the baby and cuddled him to her breast. And she cared for him as if he were her own. The neighbor women said, “Now at last Naomi has a son again!” And they named him Obed. He became the father of Jesse and the grandfather of David.This is the genealogical record of their ancestor Perez:Perez was the father of Hezron.Hezron was the father of Ram.Ram was the father of Amminadab.Amminadab was the father of Nahshon.Nahshon was the father of Salmon.Salmon was the father of Boaz.Boaz was the father of Obed.Obed was the father of Jesse.Jesse was the father of David.

“Then King David was told, “The Lord has blessed Obed-edom's household and everything he has because of the Ark of God.” So David went there and brought the Ark of God from the house of Obed-edom to the City of David with a great celebration. After the men who were carrying the Ark of the Lord had gone six steps, David sacrificed a bull and a fattened calf. And David danced before the Lord with all his might, wearing a priestly garment. So David and all the people of Israel brought up the Ark of the Lord with shouts of joy and the blowing of rams' horns. But as the Ark of the Lord entered the City of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, looked down from her window. When she saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, she was filled with contempt for him. David retorted to Michal, “I was dancing before the Lord, who chose me above your father and all his family! He appointed me as the leader of Israel, the people of the Lord, so I celebrate before the Lord. Yes, and I am willing to look even more foolish than this, even to be humiliated in my own eyes! But those servant girls you mentioned will indeed think I am distinguished!”- 2 Samuel 6:12-16, 21-22 NLT
There are lots of people digging into their family tree these days. In fact, we've done some of our own. A lot of digging around to find out where your roots are. You know, where my grandfather came from and my great grandfather, and which king or famous person I'm descended from. Of course I would be descended from someone famous, right? Some people do find out that they are related to royalty, and then other people find out some embarrassment in their family tree - the old horse thief, you know, that they'd rather not talk about. For 2,000 years God has been developing and protecting a line for His Son to come through, and there are in that family tree some eyebrow raisers. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Why Amazing Grace is Amazing." Now, our word for today from the Word of God actually comes right out of the Christmas Story. It's the story of God coming to earth really and it's found in Matthew 1. Now, you may or may not be aware that the story of God coming to earth actually begins with a genealogy; a list of Jesus' family tree. God's been preparing this line for the Messiah; it's the most special family tree in the history of planet earth. He goes down a long list of names that starts here with Abraham, works its way on down, and I'll just read a couple of them to you. "Salmon was the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab, Boaz the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth," etc. You probably don't want to hear a whole lot more of that. But all of a sudden you stop and your eye goes back and you say, "Rahab? What's she doing in Jesus' family tree?" Now, in most of this genealogy only the father is mentioned. It's only in rare cases where God wants to make a special point of it that He includes the mother. Why Rahab? Now, if you remember your Old Testament a little bit, some years before, the Israelites were preparing to conquer the land of Canaan. God sent in a couple of spies and they went to the city of Jericho and they found one home where they were taken in to hide, and it turned out it was the home of Rahab - the prostitute. She turned out to be the prostitute who gave herself to the Jewish God for the rest of her life. But these aren't the kind of people you talk about in your family tree - these are the ones you cover up. This isn't the king! And yet God makes it a point to include her. You see, there's a hidden message here. A message that Jesus is for people who know they need forgiving and who know that God's grace has no limits. God doesn't use the word deserve when it comes to salvation and a relationship with Him. None of us deserves to be in His family tree. It's not just Rahab that's a surprise - what is Ron Hutchcraft doing in God's family? What are you doing there? We're sinners who must always find grace to be "Amazing grace - how sweet the sound." The hymn says, "I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus the Nazarene, and wonder how He could love me...a sinner condemned, unclean." I hope today you still find God's grace amazing, and that you haven't been around so long that you think you belong in God's family because you deserve it. There is no one listening today who cannot be forgiven by Him. After all, Rahab was. And there is no person who doesn't still need His amazing grace today. But maybe you've never experienced that grace for yourself. Oh, you've heard that song a lot of times - Amazing Grace. It says, "I once was lost but now I'm found, was blind but now I see." But today, how appropriate. The God who will forgive all those who come to Him, holds out His hand to you and says, "Grab My hand, my child." His Son died to pay the penalty that you deserve. And God can be a forgiver because of the death of His Son on a cross. And, because His Son walked out of His grave under His own power, what began in a manger ended on a cross, and culminated with a resurrection and becomes personal for you when you let this Jesus be the forgiver of your sins. That's the day you're welcomed into His family. Would you tell Him today, "Jesus, I want You to be my personal Savior from my personal sin." Go to our website and find out there how you can be sure you belong to Him. Just go to ANewStory.com. Because the story of Rahab tells us that there is no one who He will not welcome into the family of God.

The story of Ruth and Naomi profoundly illustrates how God can work through ordinary people and circumstances to create extraordinary legacies. Nestled within Jesus' genealogy, Ruth's life underscores the significance of faith, loyalty, and divine providence in the lives of seemingly ordinary individuals. The Context of Ruth and Naomi's Story Naomi, a widow, returns to her hometown in a vulnerable state, having lost her husband and sons. In a society where women had limited rights and protections, Naomi's situation was dire. She was penniless and childless, leaving her without the means to secure her future. Ruth, her daughter-in-law, who was not from the Israelite community, chose to stay with Naomi despite the risks involved. This act of loyalty and love is a testament to Ruth's character and her willingness to embrace Naomi's people and God. The Power of Sacrificial Love Ruth's declaration to Naomi, "Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God," signifies a deep commitment that transcends cultural and familial boundaries. This covenantal relationship exemplifies sacrificial love, a recurring theme throughout the narrative. Ruth's choice to glean in the fields—a practice established by God to protect the vulnerable—demonstrates her determination to provide for both Naomi and herself. In a world that often prioritized power and conquest, Ruth's actions reflect a different kind of strength—one rooted in compassion and selflessness. This sacrificial love not only sustains Naomi but also sets the stage for God's redemptive plan to unfold. Divine Providence in Ordinary Circumstances The story also emphasizes how God orchestrates events in ordinary people's lives. Boaz, a distant relative of Naomi, becomes a key figure in their redemption. His willingness to act as a kinsman-redeemer illustrates the importance of community and the laws established to protect the vulnerable. The levirate law, which allowed widowed women to be cared for within their families, is a testament to God's concern for those in need. As Ruth and Naomi navigate their challenges, they remain faithful to one another and to God. Their story culminates in the birth of Obed, who becomes the grandfather of King David, linking them to the lineage of Jesus. This extraordinary legacy emerges from their ordinary lives, showcasing how God can transform seemingly mundane circumstances into pivotal moments in history. The Legacy of Faith: What Ruth's Story Means for You and Me The legacy of Ruth and Naomi extends beyond their immediate circumstances. Their faithfulness and loyalty serve as a reminder that God values those who trust in Him, regardless of their background or status. The inclusion of Ruth, a Moabite woman, in Jesus' genealogy highlights God's desire to welcome all who seek Him, breaking down barriers and redefining community. In the context of the Christmas season, this story encourages us to reflect on our own lives and the legacies we are building. Just as Ruth and Naomi's faithfulness led to an extraordinary outcome, we, too, are called to live out our faith in ordinary ways. By expressing love, kindness, and sacrificial acts in our daily lives, we contribute to a legacy that honors God and impacts those around us.
