Today, I want to talk to those of you that might be disappointed in this season of your life.

And for many of you, it's not that you don't believe in God, it is goodness.

You do believe in Him, but right now you may not be seeing His goodness in your life.

For some of you, you hoped maybe at this season that you would be financially strong,

that you could be a blessing to a lot of people.

But instead of being strong, many of you, you don't know how you're going to make it through this month.

You thought you'd be somewhere else and you're not.

Or for some of you, you dreamed of having a God-honoring merit.

But your dream got put on hold.

Or worse, yet for some of you, your dream turned into a nightmare.

Some of you thought, by this time in your life, you'd be happy and content

and have a great ministry in full of joy.

Instead, you feel lonely and anxious and depressed.

If you're hurting and maybe feel hopeless and you're trying to find the faith to hope for something better,

I just want to start by saying, I am sincerely sorry and my heart hurts for you and I get it

because there are times when I'll preach with all the faith that I have,

but on the inside, my heart is hurting as well.

And so I'm praying that God would speak directly to some of you today that He would give you hope

and build your faith as we dive into the final edition of this study on the book of Ruth.

What I want to do is I want to give you some backstory and then I'm going to give you the title

and then we're going to pray and then we're going to dive in and God is going to do what only God can do.

So, we'll look back if you remember in chapter 1, Ruth hit rock bottom.
