Matthew 19:29 - And every one that hath forsaken houses ... or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
PULPIT QUIP: "God refuses to become a debtor to any man!" (Missionary David H. Hillis)
Application: Giving / Tithing / Missions / Sacrifice / Loss within God's will, etc.
Same note at parallel Gospels, Mark 10:29-30; Luke 18:29-30. Also at Philippians 4:19 (in context) and at Job chapter 42.

Some more notes on Naomi in Ruth 1
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!

The Righteous Perisheth
Isaiah 57:1 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
NOTE: Not just in death, as here, but in all events is God's plan for our good. Notice that "no man layeth it to heart" but instead we ask "Why?" In the New Testament era, now with indwelling Holy Spirit help, we can instead assure ourselves with Romans 8:28.
