Week 2 – Reversals + Redemption: From Loss to Hope
Our story finds Naomi and her daughters at a low point, at a moment of desperation and decision. The writer foreshadows better times by telling us, “Bread is coming!” But they don’t know that yet. These women are caught within the mysterious tension of God’s will. They don’t understand how God is working. But they must decide if they trust Him enough to go on. One woman follows reasonable, practical advice and returns to her people. Two decide to proceed into an uncertain future. Why the split? That’s the question we wrestle with in this message.
