Ruth was from Moab, east of the Jordan; Naomi was from Bethlehem, south of Jerusalem. Ruth remained compassionate, loyal, brave, faithful, and a virtuous woman, trusting, and was blessed by the LORD God.
We need to make a commitment daily to remain in faithfulness in our walk with Jesus Christ. Faithfulness is to be loyal, dependable, and true to one’s commitments to the Lord. Faithfulness is the bonding that preserves our faith so we can be dependable and trusting to the LORD. Because the LORD God is trustworthy with us, we can be faith-worthy in Him and too Him!
