Ruth 1.6-22
God is at work in the story of Ruth and Naomi in primarily invisible ways. Naomi's life is in shambles and she is bitter with God about it. She believes that God is all powerful, but she is unconvinced about God's goodness, at least in her life at this point. The Providence of God is the main theme of the book of Ruth, a theological concept that brings together God's power and sovereign control over all things with his heart of grace, kindness, and faithful love for his people. As believers in God, we must learn to see our circumstances through the lens of Providence, trusting that even in affliction God has good and redemptive purposes that he is working out.

The Power of the Spirit on the Narrow Road
God in His grace has given us His Holy Spirit to work in our hearts so that our inward attitudes are right and this leads to holy outward behavior. The fruit of living with the Holy Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Because these traits only come from living with the Holy Spirit it is vital for us to stop, set aside our busyness and distractions, and spend time reading the Scriptures and in prayer so that we can listen to what the Spirit says and live by His power.

Walking with the Spirit on the Narrow Road
It is common to hear that all world religions are basically the same and this is said because their ethics overlap in many areas. Christianity is unique in that you are reconciled with God through faith and not through doing these good works. It is also unique in addressing the root cause for our inability to live up to these ethics: our sinful, deceitful hearts which desire to rebel against Him. God gives His Holy Spirit to Christians to rebuild their hearts so they begin to desire to walk in His ways. If we walk with the Holy Spirit by repenting of our sins, praying for His help to obey Him, learning from the Scriptures that He inspired, and stirring our affections for Christ, we can overcome the desires of our sinful hearts and live how He has called us to live.

2 Samuel 9 - Covenant Kindness
It is easy to be two-faced in our socieity today. It is easy to forget (on purpose) promices that are made because our circumstances change and it is to our advantage to forget promices when we think there are no bad consequences. This is the position David was in, but David made sure that he fulfilled his coveant with Jonathan by showing kindness to Mephibosheth. Normally kings and leaders would eleminate any leaders or family of a former rival kingdom, and thus Mephibosheth had something to fear in coming into King David's presence. But David in the all important verse 7 shows a coveant kingdness that not only protects Mephibosheth's live but provides for him in land and food and gives a great position (eating at the kings table). today We understand from David's covenant with Jonathan that God's covenant with us provides benefits in we can have security in living, abundance in living, and dependence in living. We are totally dependent on the covenant Kindness of God in providing our security in salvation from sin. Since we are sinners we are actually an enemy of God and lame in our spiritual ability to save ourselves. God saves those like Mephibosheth that do not rely on their own reasources but trust in God's covenant with us.
