Don't Let One Bad Season Define Your Entire Life : Ruth 1:1–22
Supporting Scriptures: Ruth 2:1–12; Ruth 4:13–17; Psalm 34:18
Naomi decides to return to Bethlehem. She feels so overwhelmed by her losses that she asks to be called Mara, expressing the bitterness she feels.
But Naomi's story does not end with her grief. Ruth accompanies her, and in Bethlehem, Ruth begins working in the fields of Boaz. Their story eventually leads to a new family future.
The book does not pretend Naomi's suffering was insignificant. It shows a grieving woman whose story continues beyond the chapter in which she experiences devastating loss.
