WHERE YOU GO, I WILL GOD
And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.  Ruth 1:16,17

  Ruth's mother-in-law was a woman who belonged to the family of God.  Though Ruth had not grown up in a godly family, she grew to love the God of her husband's family.  When her husband passed away, she refused to leave her mother-in-law, not because she was a good cook or a stylish dresser.  Ruth clave to her mother-in-law because of her mother-in-law's God. Ruth's mother-in-law, Naomi, served the God of heaven; the Creator of all the earth; the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.   Ruth had the opportunity to return to her home of origin with all of its allure and idolatry, but Ruth clave to her new family, determined  to go forward.   Ruth models the steadfast love that is vital for every believer.Today,let us be determined to go forward forever with God
