Ruth 1
The first words of Ruth in the bible are powerful words. She tells Naomi that she does not want to leave her, even though the future looks very dim for Naomi and for Ruth if she stays with Naomi. Ruth declares, "Your people will be my people and your God my God." Ruth's commitment to Naomi and Naomi's God extends beyond the circumstances of the moment. That commitment is at the heart of Ruth's life. She is determined to build the rest of her life around that commitment.
