Ruth, God's redeeming love.

Commitment.

Carefully chosen commitment.

Complete commitment that survives trials and leads to new life.

That is the story of Ruth.

Ruth went through famine and grief together with her mother-in-law Naomi.

They had no idea what the future held.

But they went together seeking God's plan and yes God surprised them beyond their wildest dreams

let their faith through trials inspire you to trust God for everything you need

commit yourself to God and delight in inspire you to trust God for everything you need.

Commit yourself to God and delight in Him,

and He will give you your heart's deepest desires.

Before we start our story,

which will lead you into deep and restful sleep in the presence of God,

bring anything that feels unresolved, relationships, projects, or decisions, and commit them to God.

Receive this same blessing that Ruth received.

May the Lord, the God of Israel,

under whose wings you have come to take refuge.

Reward you fully for what you have done.

Now, shift your mind away from today's tasks and worries.

Soak in God's beautiful presence and get comfortable in your bed.
