Today I was sitting in church and we have been going through the book of Ruth. This week was the last part of chapter 4 and pastor Chris was talking about when Naomi and Ruth came back to Bethlehem Naomi said the she left full and the Lord brought her back empty. In the end Ruth and Boaz have a child and their family is blessed. Naomi is congratulated and the Lord shows her that if she puts her faith and hope in Him she will be blessed. That for Naomi this book is about where she is puttin gher hope and what she is trusting in.
Then a light bulb went on...Naomi doubted God and what his plan was for her and Ruth. But in the end...all of her doutbs were conquered by what God had in mind. I often doubt God's plan in my life and what he is going to do and think that what I have in mind is better...but in the end I somehow always come back to being broken and finding God. And realizing that His plan is greater and that he knows what he is doing and I just have to put my hope in Him. It would just be easier if that light bulb came on sooner so I could be more prepared for what God has planned for my life and not concentrate so much on what I want.
