But Ruth said, Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. Ruth 1:16 ESVRuth walked along the road thinking about what had recently happened. Her husband had died, her father-in-law had died, and her brother-in-law as well. Now it was just her and Naomi her mother-in-law, and they were penniless.
Naomi urged Ruth to turn back and go home to her family, but Ruth clung to her. Ruth told Naomi, 'Where you go, I will go, and where you stay, I will stay.' Even though much hardship lay before them, that is where Ruth's destiny was. God blessed Ruth after this, and she is in the lineage of Jesus.
Sometimes we find that our destiny lies down the difficult path, and while on the way we are given a choice to turn back. Many turned back from following Jesus. Stay the course. God will fulfill His promises to you just as He did with Ruth, though it can be a bumpy road along the way.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me to see the path that You have for me clearly.
