Ruth’s family

A farmhouse with a garden, a shed and chickens.
A farmhouse with a garden, a shed and chickens.

Read

The neighbor women said, “A son has been born to Naomi,” and they named him Obed. He became the father of Jesse, the father of David.

Ruth 4:17 (BSB)

Think

Ruth came from another country. She gathered grain in Boaz’s fields to feed Naomi, and Boaz was kind to her. They married, and their great-grandson was King David. Jesus came from that family. God welcomes outsiders into His family.

Talk about it

How did Ruth show kindness to Naomi?

Pray

God, thank You that there is room in Your family for everyone.
