TOPIC: LESSON FROM NAOMI AND RUTH. INTRODUCTION (1)
MEMORY VERSE:
Psalms 32:8.
“8. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.”
BIBLE READING:
Ruth 1:1 – 5
1 In the days when the judges ruled in Israel, a severe famine came upon the land. So a man from Bethlehem in Judah left his home and went to live in the country of Moab, taking his wife and two sons with him. 2. The man’s name was Elimelech, and his wife was Naomi. Their two sons were Mahlon and Kilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in the land of Judah. And when they reached Moab, they settled there. 3. Then Elimelech died, and Naomi was left with her two sons. 4. The two sons married Moabite women. One married a woman named Orpah, and the other a woman named Ruth. But about ten years later, 5. both Mahlon and Kilion died. This left Naomi alone, without her two sons or her husband.”
I welcome you all to this new series of Lesson from Naomi and Ruth. Today, we shall be doing a study on this family and what went wrong in the cause of their migration. Elimelech was a Bethlehemite with his wife Naomi, there was famine in Bethlehem so he relocated to Moab, why? Was the instruction from God? No. There was famine, and many relocated and he did too with his family. Jumping to decision without God’s involvement has a lot of consequences. Yes, many did it and it worked for them “Now” (we don’t know what will happen later) doesn’t mean you should also go into it. He did and this brought destruction on his family. Going to Moab wasn’t the plan of God for him but he ventured in to it. How often do we seek God’s counsel before making decision?
Proverbs 14:12.
“12. There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”
We need to involve God in our decisions no matter what the case may be. Jumping into decision without God’s leading have a lot of consequences. I pray today, that we won’t miss God’s leading in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
