Ruth — Loyalty That Changed a Lineage

Ruth was a Moabite widow who chose to follow her mother-in-law Naomi back to Israel — a land where she was a foreigner, with no resources, no husband, and no guarantee of welcome. Her quiet faithfulness, hard work, and steadfast love carried her from gleaning leftover grain in a field to becoming the great-grandmother of King David and an ancestor of Jesus. Ruth's story is proof that God honors loyalty, even when it costs you everything.
