Ruth was the lady who clung to her destiny. She inherited a family by marriage. The family line was no ordinary one for out of it came Jesus (Matthew 1:5).
Ruth was born a Moabite (or Gentile) yet her faithfulness led her to a greater inheritance. She clung unto that which was good. Neither circumstances nor things past were able to hinder her from laying hold of that which was more precious.
Ruth's life is a picture of the born-again Christian. We are born again by faith. We all have to make a choice to walk with God. Do you cherish what you have inherited in Christ more than the world and all it has to offer?
Ruth was a wonderful example for all Christians. She did not think others owed her anything, so she appreciated everything that was offered to her. She felt no shame in working long and hard to care for her loved ones, even though it was humbling work. She was known as an excellent women, she was loyal, humble, and meek. Her faith and reliance on Jehovah was outstanding. She was one of the five women whom the Bible list in the ancestry of Jesus.
