Seeing the Hand of God Through Utter Darkness

Passage: Ruth 1:1-4:22

Preacher: Reuben Arulanandam

Series:Extraordinary Women of the Bible

Summary:

The book of Ruth teaches us about God's sovereign hand working behind the scenes, even in our darkest moments. We see how God uses unexpected people and circumstances to bring about His purposes. Ruth, a Moabite widow, shows remarkable loyalty and faith, ultimately becoming part of the lineage of King David and Jesus Christ. This story reminds us that God can use anyone, regardless of their background, to accomplish His will. It encourages us to trust in God's plan, even when we can't see His footprints, and to remain faithful in times of hardship. The concept of the kinsman-redeemer foreshadows Christ's role as our ultimate Redeemer, showing God's consistent plan of salvation throughout history.
