It is through connection that she discovered her path to greatness. God has prepared a personal and prophetic path to greatness for you. Your greatness is found through discovering God’s image for your life. “So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”(Genesis 1:27 KJV) Ruth discovered her path to greatness when she surrendered her life to God. “And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, [or] to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people [shall be] my people, and thy God my God:” (Ruth 1:16 KJV) The Path to Greatness is a path of responsibility. Winston Churchill said, “The price of greatness is responsibility.” Ruth’s price of greatness was in her decision to take responsibility for her mother-in-law Naomi. Her path to greatness was chesed (selfless loving kindness). Jesus teaches us about the path to greatness. “And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:59-60 KJV) The path to greatness is a path of total commitment. Jesus wasn’t teaching His disciples to hate their parents or not to bury the dead. A proper burial is mitzvah. Jesus was teaching His disciples that following Him means that learning from Him would take precedence over every other endeavor. That’s exactly what Ruth did and in doing so, she restored the honor of her deceased husband and her father-in-law. The blessings for serving God exponentially outweigh the price.
