The story of Naomi and Ruth is a heartwarming tale of love and faith. It’s also a beautiful illustration of how God directs our paths. In the story, God does not take a direct approach to alter their lives. He never sends angels to deliver a message, no one had any prophetic dreams, and yet, there is no doubt that He guided their paths in the way He wanted them to go. Ruth and Naomi’s love for one another kept them together, their faith in God gave them hope and strength.
Mary Stevenson’s poem is an eloquent reminder that not only does God direct our paths, But He also walks with us. We are never alone, and we can count on Him to carry us when the burdens are too heavy.
