The Hidden Hand of God The Story of Naomi and Ruth
God knows what He is doing. Trust Him. “What has begun as a heartache for you can result in overwhelming blessings.” - Woodrow Kroll
God’s hand is heavy upon us either to bring us to repentance or to prepare us for blessing. Even when God’s hand is heavy, it is still a loving hand.
Trusting God involves risk.

Remember, God is watching us. Just as He was watching Ruth.
We never know when someone might be watching us.
When you pray for someone, are you willing to be used by God to be part of His answer to the prayer?
Do you put yourself under God’s wings, depending on His protection and provision?
God is able to do exceedingly abundantly beyond all that we can ask or think. Ephesians 3:20
When we feel God is the farthest away, it is then that He is often nearest to us.
Go-el A kinsman redeemer… One who delivers, rescues, redeems

God knows why each situation is in our lives. God knows how each situation will end. God knows when each situation will end. Even THIS situation will work for His glory and our good….
