Change Happens-Jesus Never Changes
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:8
How can you trust God after life-shattering loss? Naomi's story in the Book of Ruth taught me to shift my focus from myself and my relationships when people leave me picking up the pieces of who I am without them. Rather than focusing on them and my loss, I must turn to Jesus. He is faithful and never changes.
Naomi teaches us that God can still use us even when we feel weak and insufficient and we are wrecked with grief. As women, our relationships often define how we view ourselves. Naomi's identity was devastated in ten short years. First, she lost her husband, and then both of her sons died.
The Book of Ruth starts with Naomi's and Elimelech's journey to escape a famine.
