Chris Brannon continues in our Faithful God series in Ruth, chapter 2.  As we continue on through our series, we can see God’s redemptive plan become a little clearer.  We also see more and more that His sovereign purposes cannot always be seen or understood from our perspective.  Especially when we are in the middle of struggles and afflictions.  However, if we know and believe in the goodness and kindness of our Heavenly Father, we can trust Him as we go through those hardships.

As we continue to look into this story, it becomes apparent that there are several lenses we could look at it through.  The first lens is the human lens.  Where we see devotion, commitment, kindness and romance.  Another lens is the moral lens; integrity, character compassion and loyalty.  The third lens is the God lens.  This is the lens that Chris primarily focuses on today.  This is the character of God, the grace of God, loving-kindness of God and the sovereignty of God.

God is not an employer looking for employees.  He is an Eagle looking for people who will take refuge under His wings.  He is looking for people who will leave their father and mother and homeland, or anything else that may hold us back from a life of love under the wings of Jesus.
