Maybe it’s just me, but, sometimes, I have found myself thinking: “I have been true to my faith. But God, why? How? When will my prayers come to pass? After all, telling myself to have faith and doing this can be two different things. I tend to want God to answer my prayers right away. But I have learned God’s timing, plan, and resolution can often differ significantly from mine. However, the story of Ruth offers me hope. I’ve also learned I don’t always have to know all the answers. God rescues and restores those who put their faith and hope in Him.
