Being a widow in those days was very difficult because a household depended on to provide , shelter, and support. So when Naomi heard that God had provided food in Bethlehem, she was motivated to go back there.

Isn't it interesting to see how God works in our lives. Wherever we go, God watches over us. And sometimes, in dire situations, we may be drawn to seek him in renewed ways.

Wherever you are at this moment, may God help you see that our home can only be found in Him, through the gift of , His Son.
