Ruth the Moabitess broke the tradition of her idolatrous people and her irresponsible ancestor, Lot’s older daughter. Ruth became a believer in the God of the Hebrews. She sought her fulfillment as a mother through the gracious plan of the one true and living God. She proved herself to be worthy of being named with the finest women of Israel. The grace of God was evident in Ruth’s life as she is included among several non-Israelite women in the line of David. Ultimately Ruth is the story of trusting God and living by faith in the midst of adversity, knowing the reward of faith is knowing God as our true Redeemer. The Proclaim Commentary series brings expositional insight and practical application to every day life. It is written not only for pastors, teachers, and leaders, but also for families, students, or anyone desiring to explore the riches of God’s word.
