DEVOTION ~ LEFT BEHIND
Theme: Left Behind Text: Ruth 1:3-5 3 Then Elimelech, Naomi’s husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons. 4 Now they took wives of the women of Moab: the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth. And they dwelt there about ten years. 5 Then both Mahlon and Chilion also died; so the woman survived her two sons and her husband. Ever lost a loved one? If you have, you will know the vacuum they leave behind and unerased memories that linger on. In yesterday's devotion, we learned about Elimeleach and his nuclear family seeking greener pastures in the country of Moab and they remain there. The opening text for today, States that Elimelech died leaving behind Noami and their two sons. Unfortunately, her sons also died ten years later leaving their mother and widows behind. This tragic event encountered by Noami left her empty for she was left behind. In subsequent devotion, we will learn about what Naomi did when she lost her husband and sons. PRAYER:...
