Off the well-worn paths of the Old Testament found in Genesis, Psalms, Isaiah, there are gems to discover. Ruth is a four-chapter account of a single family in Israel. The family was not rich, noble, or powerful; so, this family is just like yours. Why should this home deserve our attention? Because life can drain us, physically, emotionally, mentally - spiritually. We come to the end of a day, a month or a decade and feel spent. Beyond the daily drip, drip of demands, a sudden or tragic loss may befall, leaving us in shock. Having been spent, are we simply to endure the squeeze of living, or is there a way of restoration? Ruth holds promise for us all.
