DEDICATION

"But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God." Ruth 1:16 NIV

Ruth is one of the most attractive, feminine and godly of the women of the Bible. She is one of two women in the Bible about whom books have been written and after whom those books have been named. She was the great-grandmother of David, and mentioned in the first chapter of the New Testament as one of the ancestors of our Lord Jesus. She is revered and honored still today; Children are named after her. Her earnest consecration is displayed, her determined friendship with her mother-in-law Naomi was undeniable and above all her faith. Please read the full account of her total commitment to Naomi in the book of Ruth. 

Ruth was so dedicated to a fault; she said in verse 17 of our text chapter, "Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried...." This is undivided trust and genuine love. This is how we should be dedicated to the things of God. When you stay connected, committed and dedicated to God, your inner man is built; your character and your ability to trust God increases and your love for Him will be on the high. Be dedicated to the WORD and not to the things of the world.
