Christian Devotional – September 11, 2012

VERSE:
Ruth 3:1–Then Naomi her mother-in-law said the her, “My daughter, shall I not seek security for you, that it may be well with you?”

TRUTH:
Naomi has made great progress in this short time. She went from believing that she had nothing to offer Ruth, to creating this plan that would provide security for Ruth. When we are sad, depressed, and full of grief, often the best thing we can do is turn our attention to helping others. We have lots to offer to other people, even if it’s just advise and counsel. The Lord has a plan and purpose for each one of us.

RESPONSE:
Lord, no matter my purpose, I want to pursue it with all my heart and strength. You have a place for me and a reason for me to be here and I don’t want to miss out.
