Ruth Book Study (Summer 2020)
Ruth is a bright spot in the dark days of the Judges. In the midst of national idolatry, corruption, and calamity a few individuals model godly and gracious lifestyles. The Lord God uses those everyday, ordinary people in his plan for the nation of Israel and his plan to provide a Savior for the world. The providence of God is seen in the seemingly natural circumstances and decisions as the Lord fulfills his eternal purposes. The Book of Ruth is a story of hope for the people of God no matter what suffering, trials, or pain they are experiencing.
