Courage and Obedience

Pick up this week's newspapers and a high lighter. Go to the world news section. Mark every reference to refugees. What forced these people from their homes? More than five million people live as refugees. As climates change, that number grows. It is not a new problem. Naomi's family faced it more than three thousand years ago.

Christians in a sense, are refugees, for they are on a lifelong journey to thier real home with God. Hearing Ruth's story can help believers understand the courage and obedience God requires from them.
