Naomi - A Case History Of God's Providence Series

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Oct 18, 2000

Naomi suffered three bereavements and yet proved God’s providential care.

There’s a striking phrase in our reading from the book of Ruth - "The Lord came to the aid of his people" (1:6). The Authorized Version puts it: "The Lord has visited his people."
