BE COURAGEOUS AS NAOMI
BE COURAGEOUS AS NAOMI
And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother's house: the LORD deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me. - (Ruth 1:8)
After losing all to fate and rational decision their to leave their home for another country in search of greener pastures, she found nothing good in keeping with her anything that will bring back the memory of the recent past.
The husband of her youth with her two sons was all gone at a foreign land while in search for a better living outside their home country. Elimelech, Naomi, Mahlon and Chilion paid their fare out of Bethlehemjudah due to famine in the land. Mahlon and Chilion took to themselves a wife each (Orpah and Ruth) after the death of their father Elimelech. They remain married and dwelled together for 10 years and had no children within the relationship. Even at place where they thought would a better life, everything turns against them and worst more, the two men left died leaving their wives with no child to bear their names and their aged mother to burry and morn them.
Despite all that the last paragraph had stated, Naomi summed up courage and decided to start afresh in life ignoring her aged status; she knew that her God can make all things new again. In Ruth 1:6 the Bible says “Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab...”
You can start afresh and still make it in life despite the past disappointment and setbacks. Don’t hang the past with you if you must accelerate to the next level.
Naomi in verse 8 instructed the two daughter in-laws to also make a return to their individual home. She even blessed and released them.
The end of Naomi was certainly better with the choice that she made. She became a great instrument in nurturing Ruth who also joins the genealogy of Christ Jesus.
Your courageous to return today to your point of destiny will definitely give birth to a notable miracle that will outlive your generation in Jesus name.
Have a blessed day in His presence.
