“And Ruth said, Entreat 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
After the death of Naomi’s husband and her sons, she decided to return back to her native home. Before the death of her sons, they both had wives (Ruth & Orpah); Naomi told the daughters-in-law she was returning to her home land but Ruth declined to leave Naomi's side despite several plea and excuses from Naomi (read verses 6-15). Ruth showed her loyalty by remaining faithful and devoted to her mother in law. She said wherever you go I will go, where you live I will live and where you die, there will I be buried too (verse 17-18).
How devoted are you to the Word of God and His truth? Are you one of those who easily give up in the face of challenges? Isaiah 41:10 says "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand".
No matter where you are, stay devoted to God. The blessings of God makes rich and adds no sorrow to it. Remain faithful to the course, you will definitely arrive at your destination. You can have all that God has promised you, all that is required of you is to remain faithful, devoted, steadfast and never give up.
