Description
| At different points in the book of Ruth, Naomi was either pleasant, bitter, hurt, hopeful, anxious, or happy and rejoicing! Depending on what God was doing at the time, Naomi felt all those feelings toward God. But when the story was finished, Naomi felt good toward God. Believers need to keep a perspective that includes the providence of God if they want to maintain a sense of hope. The providence of God means that God is at work behind the scenes in each of our lives. What often looks like “chance” is not that at all, but is the gracious, sovereign hand of God. This message is profusely illustrated with stories from the lives of Joseph, Ruth, Boaz, and Jesus, as well as Washington, Lincoln, missionaries, and Dr. Davis’ own personal life. Here is a study that is theological enough to help you understand God, but also practical enough to give you a fresh perspective of God’s work in your own personal life. Running time: 55 minutes |
