Father God, I get chills when I read the account of Ruth and her faithfulness to her mother-in-law, Naomi. Although she was from Moab, a gentile, her near kinsman redeemed her and gave her a place among your covenant people and her great grandson was King David, a man after your own heart. What a beautiful example of redemption. In the same way, Jesus redeemed me, though I was a gentile, and brought me into covenant relationship with you. Thank you, Father, for your mercy, your love and your faithfulness. Amen.
