I’ve the story of Ruth. It is such a good example of how God uses what seems like tragedy – death, homelessness, unemployed, being barren and destitute – into hope, a wedding, babies, a secure future, a lineage, a Messiah.
Yes – me too – and it is especially refreshing after trudging through the the book of Judges!
