Faith Opens Unforeseen Doors

Ruth's loyalty and unwavering faith continue to inspire people across time. Her resolute words "Wherever you go, I will go; And wherever you lodge, I will lodge; Your people shall be my people, And your God, my God" (Ruth 1:16–17), hold a special place. Her story teaches us the importance of resilience, courage, and making bold choices.

Ruth lost her husband and her homeland and faced a difficult decision. Her mother-in-law, Naomi, also widowed and grieving, advised Ruth and her sister-in-law, Orpah, to return to their families. But Ruth chose to stay with Naomi, declaring, "Where you go, I will go." Her decision was not based on logic or convenience but on love and trust.

Their journey led them to Bethlehem, where Ruth was an outsider. However, her unwavering faith led her to step forward. God orchestrated extraordinary events in her life, from her gleaning in the fields to her encounter with Boaz, a kinsman-redeemer, who showed her kindness, protection, and provision.

Ruth's faithfulness bore fruit. She married Boaz, and their son, Obed, became the grandfather of King David and a vital link in the lineage of Jesus Christ. Ruth's legacy transcended her lifetime, intertwining with the divine narrative.

Ruth's story teaches us important lessons that resonate across time. We must choose faith over fear, loyalty and sacrifice, understand divine appointments, and leave a lasting legacy of faith. Ruth's footsteps invite us to follow, to choose loyalty, faith, and the path less travelled, knowing that even in life's wilderness, miracles await those who dare to believe.

Ruth's words, "The Lord do so to me, and more also, If anything but death parts you and me," remind us of the importance of unwavering commitment and loyalty. Ruth's story is a testament to the power of making bold choices and standing firm in our faith, no matter the cost.

Blessings!

The Discipline of Perception: We Receive People the Way We Perceive Them

Look. Most of us are walking around half-blind. We think we're seeing clearly. But we're not. We're seeing through filters—bias, fear, ego, past wounds. And those filters? They're distorting everything. Perception isn't passive. It's not just some background mental process. It's active. It's a choice. And it's probably the most important skill you'll never be taught in school. The Woman at the Well: A Masterclass in Almost Missed Opportunities John 4 gives us the perfect case study. A Samaritan woman approaches a well. She sees Jesus sitting there. To her? He's just another thirsty Jewish traveler. Nothing special. Nothing worth her time. Then Jesus speaks: "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water." (John 4:10) If you knew. That's the pivot point. The moment when perception becomes everything. She didn't know be...

Beyond Human Limits: The Reality of Triumphant Faith

Faith is not the absence of obstacles. It is the steady confidence that God is greater than any barrier you face. Throughout Bible, we see ordinary people confronting impossible circumstances. These individuals did not possess superior strength or foolproof strategies. They possessed something far more effective: a deep reliance on the Almighty God. That trust moved mountains, parted seas, and shattered chains. When the Sea Becomes a Highway The Israelites found themselves in a place of utter hopelessness in Exodus 14. Pharaoh’s army pressed in from behind with unstoppable fury. In front, the Red Sea stood as an impenetrable wall. Terrified, the people cried out. God’s response to Moses was both stunning and direct. "And the Lord said to Moses, 'Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward. But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea'" (Exo...

Understand Your Identity in Christ

We live in a world that often seems confusing. Identity—once rooted in truth, community, and divine design—has become fragmented. Many today feel like they are drowning in society’s expectations, chasing after titles, images, and affirmations as if they were lifelines in a storm. But the world is fickle. Its validation is fleeting, and its approval often comes at a cost. As a result, we find ourselves lost, doubting who we are, questioning our worth, and searching for something that already exists within us but remains hidden. This identity crisis is not accidental; it’s one of the enemy’s oldest and most effective tactics. If he can confuse who you are, he can also confuse what you do. And if he can confuse what you do, he can derail why you’re here. That's why so many today are redefining their identities based on whatever the world currently applauds—appearance, fame, even gender. This shift is not born out of rebellion but from despair. When you don’t know who you are in...
