Ruth 1 - April 14, 2026

from New Mercies

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate HereToday we step into one of the most beautiful redemption stories in all of Scripture—the Book of Ruth. But before the beauty… comes the breakdown.Ruth 1 isn’t a feel-good chapter. It’s heavy. It’s raw. It’s what happens when God’s people drift, justify it, and slowly get comfortable in places they were never meant to stay. What begins as a famine turns into a decision… and that decision turns into loss, grief, and deep bitterness.But even here—right in the middle of spiritual darkness—God is still writing a story.This episode walks through the backdrop of Ruth 1, helping you see the deeper meaning behind the names, the historical moment, and the spiritual tension between Bethlehem and Moab… between faithfulness and wandering… between the world and the Lord.Because at the center of this chapter is a question every one of us has to answer: Are you going to keep chasing what looks easier… or return to the God who’s calling you home?If you’ve been distant… drifting… or justifying your way out of obedience—this is your moment. The road back is open.And what feels like the beginning of the end… may actually be the start of redemption.
