Day 97 of Heart Dive 365. I'm your Bible study friend Kenoy. Welcome to the Heart Dive podcast.

Well, today we are starting and finishing in an entire book, another book of the Bible,

one of my favorites of the entire Bible, the book of Ruth, and it never

gets old. You know, today when I was reading, I was getting goosebumps all over, as if it was

the first time that I was ever hearing one of the greatest love stories in the Bible. And like I said

in the last video, it is a story of redemption. So after all of that dreary reading that we had

just gone through with judges, this is one of those good ones that we can insert right in the middle of it. But before we get into the reading, if you could please help us out by hitting that thumbs up button. And when you do that, it is your way of saying, I'm here with you, Kanoi. I want to partner with you in this heart dive ministry. I believe that what we are doing here is something good. It's bringing God glory, and we believe that it could help somebody else. So thank you for doing that. Also, make sure you're subscribed to the channel, got that notification bell on as well, if you want to know when the videos come out. Join us in our Facebook group if you'd like to continue conversation and you'd like to join one of our online small groups.

Or if you're new here, let us know where you're watching from. Make sure to check out the description box or the show notes for any information or questions you might have. Or as always, you can head to our website, heartdive.org. All right, we're going to jump into the words. So let's go ahead and prepare our hearts. Our Father who aren't in heaven,

hallowed be your name.

That means you are holy.

So we revere you today.

We sit here in heaven, hallow it be your name. That means you are holy. So we revere you today. We sit here in humility at your feet with gratitude, with praise, for you are deserving of it. You have already redeemed our lives, Jesus, and we are so grateful for it. And you've also redeemed this day that the enemy is going to try to take away from us,

but he will not win. And so we just thank you for allowing us to be here in this space with these

people, with our family, to read your word together. Wherever two or more are gathered,

there you are in the midst of them. So we welcome you Holy Spirit because we know that you are with us.

Forgive us of our sins. Give us a pure heart, clean hands

so that we will be ready to be able to learn from you today and to glean from you. Help us also

to forgive others. And I just pray, Lord, that you will not lead us into temptation, but deliver us

from evil. Yours is the kingdom and power and glory forever in Jesus' name. Amen.

There's a little bit of debate

about who wrote the book of Ruth. And so I'm going with, it is unknown, although it points to either

Ruth or Samuel. Samuel is one of the more traditional views of who wrote it. So these would be the
