This year in FamilyQuest we’ll be looking at some Old Testament heroes of the faith. We’ll see how God took flawed human beings and accomplished great things while showing many, including us, just who He is. These famous heroes faced many hard choices and had to trust God to do miraculous things. We pray that as you study these real, live heroes your families will be encouraged that you, too, can trust God to do the big things that seem impossible to us.
In this unit, we will be looking at Ruth. Ruth was from a land that did not believe in God but married into a family did. Before having any children, she was widowed and chose to return with her mother-in-law to the land of her husband. She is now a foreigner in a strange land, with no husband, no children, and no money. Ruth's story is one of God's sovereignty, protection, and love. It is a beautiful picture of God's redemption and love for His people.
How is it going as you work on your memory verse for this unit? In case you can't find it, here it is:
But Ruth Replied, “Don’t ask me to leave you and turn back. Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.” Ruth 1:16
This song isn't the verse word for word, but it might be a help in remembering most of it: I Will Follow by Chris Tomlin.
