Synopsis: Set in the days of the judges, the first chapter of the book of Ruth introduces the reader to Naomi and Ruth her faithful daughter-in-law of Moab who went to Bethlehem together. Tragedy had caused Naomi to grow bitter, yet in time she would come to appreciate virtuous Ruth whose loyal love points to Christ and remains inspirational to this day. When God's hand seems against us, He is always faithful to draw us to Himself.
