Contributed by Samuel M on Jul 5, 2023

Boaz is compared to Jesus Christ. Ruth can be compared with you. We are asking Jesus to extend to us his love, protection, mercy and his kingdom and adopt the role of family head.

Let me take refuge in your shelter. Make me part of your family and heritage. Take the ...read more

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Dec 15, 2015

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Jan 10, 2026

The Bible teaches that God is a just and righteous God, who brings justice to those who suffer at the hands of the wicked. Psalm 37:11 says, "But the meek shall inherit the land and delight themselves in abundant peace." One day, the wicked will serve those they have oppressed. The ...read more
