0:00.0	When the Son of Man comeeth, shall he find faith on the earth?
0:06.0	Lord, I believe, help thou mine unbelief.
0:13.0	May our testimonies be as deep to the strong as that of Jacob.
0:19.0	When confronted by one who sought to destroy his faith declared,
0:23.0	I could not be shaken.
0:30.0	Hello, my friends, Jared Halverson here.
0:40.0	Welcome back to Unshaken.
0:41.0	Today, we're going to be covering the Book of Ruth and the first seven chapters of Samuel.
0:45.0	Some amazing material, especially after last week's dizzying spin through the pride cycle and the Book of Judges.
0:51.0	I'm hoping that today is just what the doctor ordered to help you recalibrate and get your bearings once again.
0:58.0	I've read that when figure skaters, for example, are spinning so fast, how do they not get dizzy and just fall down right afterwards?

1:20.0	And to me, through the dizziness of the pride cycle and the Book of Judges, a really good fixed point to concentrate on is the Book of Ruth,
1:30.0	because the Book of Ruth grows out of the same time period that we studied last week.
1:35.0	So, despite the fact we saw so many falls into pride and wickedness and destruction,
1:40.0	here today we see a story of two women, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who are worth concentrating on.
1:48.0	And whenever you get pulled down towards pride, look to the selflessness of Ruth and Naomi.
1:55.0	And I think selflessness, like humility, like meekness, like so many other divine attributes, are a wonderful cure for the kinds of problems that bring us down the pride cycle like we saw last week.
2:07.0	You get this hint in Ruth chapter 1, verse 1, right at the beginning. It says that it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled.
2:16.0	So that sets the context for what we'll be studying today, the same time period.
2:21.0	And if you remember what the verse that came up several times, we see it clearly right at the end of Judges 21.
