We saw as we studied the book of Ruth that God worked in the life of Naomi, even when she was discouraged and down God was still working to redeem her. We saw how Ruth and Boaz were brought together by the providence of God and became the parents of Obed who was the grandfather of King David.
Next we are starting the book of Esther and will see how God worked in the life of a young Jewish girl Hadassah who was placed in a position to prevent the annihilation of her entire nation. Hadassah is better known by her Persian name: Esther. We are going from the quiet Jewish village to a bustling Gentile city. One thing that we can be encouraged of is that God is always at work on behalf of His people whether they live in a small town or in a big city it doesn't matter He is there with you. Ruth and Esther lived in different worlds, but the same God was present and at work in their lives just as he works in our life.
I pray you enjoyed our study of Ruth and join me as we start the wonderful book of Esther.
