Sovereign Suffering | Ruth 1:1-6

The book of Ruth takes place during a very chaotic time in Israel's history and it focuses in on a family that faces great tragedy. But in the midst of tragedy, we see God's sovereignty and God's steadfast love at work. Whether leading us out of suffering or into suffering, God exercises his divine sovereignty and steadfast love. As such, God's sovereignty and steadfast love are to serve as the foundation for our lives, especially when suffering rips everything else apart. That's the only way we can truly live consecrated lives.
