Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 9, 2020

It is amazing how God can take what appears to be an ordinary or even uncertain circumstance and work it out for our benefit. Ruth had made the long journey from Moab to Bethlehem ...read more

I’m sure there were fears and uncertainties in her mind. Even though she was unaware, God was providentially ...read more
