- We love our plans. If you want to reach a goal, it takes a good plan.
- Grace is all about God’s initiatives in our lives, which means that God also has plans. God’s plans often interrupt our own plans.
- There is a false piety which is often an excuse for laziness. Naomi took the initiative, but she followed the direction which she believed God was already pointing out.
- Faith always grows when it acts on the basis of what the Lord has already accomplished and provided.
- The entire story of Ruth is one of ordinary people who are all doing the best they can with their plans.
- The grace of God that redeems us, changes our lives, and brings us under His wings is mediated through ordinary people.
- If God wants to do something, He certainly can. But most of our stories are like that of Ruth, who never saw a miracle. She didn't expect it, and neither should we.
- Expect to have to devise a strategy for what you will do with your life.
- You only have this one life. This is your one opportunity to make a difference.
