Ruth 1:1 - Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
NOTE: As most others, Naomi and Elimilech did that which was right in their own eyes in going to Moab.
Cross References: Deuteronomy 12:8; Judges 17:6, 21:25; Proverbs 21:2
NOTE: The believer will always suffer outside the will of God. You will always lose more in a green Moab, than even in a famined Bethlehem.
Ruth 1:6 - Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread.
NOTE: She missed the best part of this revival.
Ruth 1:21a - I went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again empty...
NOTE: Didn't she leave thinking she was empty in Bethlehem and going to Moab to get full? Leaving for Moab will forever change your life!
Ruth 1:20 - And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.
NOTE: He might bring you home empty, but He wants to bring you home!
