November 6: Follow God

"And Ruth said, “Entreat me not to leave you, or to turn back from following after you; For wherever you go, I will go; and wherever you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, And your God, my God."

Ruth 1:16

Ruth was born in Moab and was raised in a perverse heathen home. The Moabites worshipped the god Chemosh and sacrificed their own children to it as an offering (2 Kings 3:27). Ruth was accustomed to witnessing the worst, most barbaric human behavior imaginable.

Meanwhile, a Jewish farmer and his wife, Naomi, left their home in Bethlehem during a time of famine and relocated in Moab. While in Moab, the couple’s two sons married Moabite girls, Ruth and Orpah. After about 10 years, following the deaths of Naomi's husband and sons, news came that Bethlehem was recovering. As Naomi prepared to return to Bethlehem, she encouraged her daughters-in-law to return to their families in Moab. Orpah did as Naomi requested, but Ruth pledged her life to Naomi. Ruth recognized that she had already experienced her past, and she did not like it. Her husband died, and there was nothing left for her in Moab. , Ruth chose not to become bitter and resentful. She realized that we are where we are today because of the choices we made yesterday.

Examine the people who influence you. Do they draw you closer to God or pull you away? Your relationships often determine your choices. Your choices WILL determine your destiny. Ask God to show you to whom you should be connected. Chase hard after God and in the journey, you will meet those who will help you get where God has always wanted you to be – fulfilling His purpose and His plan for your life.

God does not look at where you came from to determine where you are going.

A psalm of David. 1  Blessed are those who have regard for the weak;    the LORD delivers them in times of trouble. 2  The LORD protects and preserves them—    they are counted among the blessed in the land—    he does not give them over to the desire of their foes. 3  The LORD sustains them on their sickbed    and restores them from their bed of illness. 4  I said, “Have mercy on me, LORD;    heal me, for I have sinned against you.” 5  My enemies say of me in malice,    “When will he die and his name perish? ” 6  When one of them comes to see me,    he speaks falsely, while his heart gathers slander;    then he goes out and spreads it around.

I Hear His Whisper..."Trust my timing." : Rivers of pain and persecution will never extinguish this flame. Endless floods will be unable to quench this raging fire that burns within you. Everything will be consumed. It will stop at nothing as you yield everything to this furious fire until it won’t even seem to you like a sacrifice anymore. Song of Songs 8:7 TPT I Hear His Whisper . . . Trust my timing.   The days of completion are mine, not yours. I will complete my work in you in my perfect timing. Even as my ways are perfect, so my timing is perfect. For you have said, "It seems I am standing still and going nowhere." But I say over you, I am unfolding my glory upon you even as you wait on me. I will make it happen and will show you my perfection. What often feels like an endless season of waiting is often a time of preparation. You must believe in things you cannot see. You must trust that even when things seem silent, I am working on your behalf
