Sermons About Providence
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.

Ruth 1.1-6
Our study in the book of Ruth begins with tragedy. A man named Elimelech who lives in the godless and turbulent days of the judges is moving his family out of God's promised land to the pagan country of Moab. In a few short verses, we see the tragic consequences of this decision: both he and his two sons die, leaving his wife, Naomi, without husband and children in a foreign land. It is tragic. Yet God is not as absent as he seems. He has a plan and a future for Naomi, and in his grace is visits his people in Israel and Naomi begins her journey home.

Genesis: 24 The Beginning of Hope in the Promises of God: A Life of Abraham
We do not “Control†God in any way. This is true in healing, miracles, etc. These are done for God’s will, in His timing. Are we trusting God for key issues in our life? Do we consult God when it comes to decisions such as whom we are going to spend our lives with? What are you struggling with in regards to God’s will, and your life? Are we trusting that God loves us, and is acting on our behalf on a regular basis? Are we giving God gratitude for what He does regularly in your lives?
