MFM Daily Devotional Message Sunday, 31st August, 2025.
True love and friendship were the foundation and basis of the relationship between Naomi and "Ruth. Ruth's loyalty and devotion to Naomi are a beautiful example of the biblical kind of friendship revealed by our memory verse for today. Despite being from different cultures and backgrounds, Ruth stuck closer to Naomi than any biological son could have done, demonstrating the power of true friendship. In life, it is a great thing to have someone who will stand by your side through thick and thin, providing comfort. encouragement and support. I pray that God will give you a friend, daughter, daughter-in-law or even a mother like Ruth, in the name of Jesus.
Also, Ruth was a woman of good report. The good report she had won the heart of Boaz who ended up as her husband and father of her child. Ruth 2:11 reads, "And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shown me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother-in-law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore." Relationship is about investing in others and adding value to their lives consistently. Ruth had risked her life to follow Naomi because she believed in Naomi's God. She had sacrificed so much that Boaz prayed that the Lord God of Israel under whose wings she had come to trust would recompense her and give her full reward. It was a life-changing prayer and the God of Israel answered it.
Beloved, are you a daughter in law or a son in law? Can your parents-in-law and the people around them say that you are better than ten sons? Remember that Naomi had lost two adult sons and she thought it was all over, but God through Ruth did for her more than what ten sons would do for her. This befitting description of Ruth was borne out of the exceptional qualities she had and which made her one of the finest and greatest female characters in the Bible. I encourage you to emulate Ruth even as you relate with your in-laws. You will not miss your reward!
