God Leads His Nation

Lesson 8

November 19, 2023

Today’s lesson, “The Faith-Full Family,” tells of Ruth’s loyalty to her widowed mother-in-law, Naomi. Returning to Naomi’s ancestral home in Bethlehem, Ruth gleans Boaz’s fields to provide food for herself and Naomi. Ruth finds favor with Boaz, who purchases Naomi’s land and redeems Ruth from her widowhood. Having married Boaz, Ruth bears a son, Obed, the grandfather of King David.
