Ruth 1: The Woman Who Told God the Truth

🎧 Ruth 1 | The Woman Who Told God the TruthA woman tells God exactly what she thinks of him. Out loud. In public. And the Bible doesn't tell her off.Yesterday Proverbs ended with a question — "A wife of noble character who can find?" Today we meet her, and she's not who you'd expect: a Moabite, an outsider, gleaning her way into the story of a king. Famine empties Bethlehem — "house of bread" with no bread — and Naomi comes home renaming herself "Bitter." Today's tool: names are narration. Count the word shuv — "return" — twelve times in one chapter, hiding behind four different English words.#Ruth #Bible #BibleReading #Naomi #Moabite #DailyBibleReadingDaily Bible Reading is a chapter-by-chapter Bible reading podcast from Christ Church Hemel, helping you read through the Bible one chapter at a time.
