Ruth 1:16 And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:

Thought for the Day: Live That Others Want To Follow

Reflection for the Day: What Do People See When They See Your Life?

After suffering the loss of her husband and her two sons, Naomi was returning home to Bethlehem-Judah. Though her daughters-in-law voiced their plans to travel with her, she told them to stay in Moab. Orpah consented to stay but Ruth did not. Naomi’s life was such that Ruth committed herself not only to travel with her mother-in-law but to make her country her country and her God her God. Naomi lived a life that Ruth wanted to follow.

There are certain questions every saint should ask. Is my life one that others would want to follow? Is my commitment to God strong enough that others would seek to duplicate it? You have the opportunity to influence others in a positive manner. Let your life be one that others choose to follow.
