“I WENT AWAY FULL, BUT THE LORD HAS BROUGHT ME BACK EMPTY.”
RUTH 1:21 NIV
When it comes to
valuable life-lessons, the book of Ruth tops the best-seller
list. (Have you read it yet?) For the next few days let’s look
at some of them.
When famine came to Bethlehem, Naomi, her husband and two sons
moved to Moab where the economy was thriving. What they hoped
would be a short stay turned into ten years. Their sons married
two local girls, Ruth and Orpah. Then the unthinkable happened.
Naomi’s husband and sons died. As a result of her loss she
became bitter. When she heard that times were good in Bethlehem,
she decided to go back home. After she arrived she said, “I went
out full, and the Lord has brought me home again empty” (NKJV).
What did she mean? She was saying that despite the famine at
home in Bethlehem, at least there she had her husband and sons,
whereas in Moab, “the land of plenty,” she’d lost them.
You never miss the water till the well runs dry! The truth is,
you can be blessed and not know it. Only as you look back do you
realize that what you have is much more important than all the
things you don’t have. When Naomi lost what she loved most, even
a famine seemed insignificant by comparison.
Have you been saying, “I’ll be happy when…”? No, happiness
doesn’t come from getting what you want - it comes from
appreciating what God’s given you. Instead of whining and
complaining about your lot in life, stop and ask yourself, “What
would I take in exchange for what I have?” If you don’t know the
answer, begin counting your blessings and thanking God for them.
