Sometimes God will allow you to hit rock bottom for you to know that he is the rock. And Naomi and Ruth and Orpah hit rock bottom. Naomi lost her husband. Naomi lost her sons, a.k.a. Ruth and Orpah's husbands. And because of that, they were both childless and widowed. They had no one to protect them. They had no one to get resources from them whatsoever.

They were the only they they were there to only fend for themselves. And so the people who were or women who were widowed and childless were considered the lowest of the low. So not only were these people enemies of God, but they also had a lack of resource. They were weak. They were impressionable and they were vulnerable, essentially. And through this.

Ruth, Naomi, and Oprah, or mostly Naomi, saw the tragedies and was just like, you know what? We're going to get up and we're going to go pursue God. And so what kind of ends up throughout this next part of the story is that Naomi, they're on their way to Bethlehem or to Judah, and Naomi just sat down Orpah and Ruth and was like, you know what? I don't have much to offer y'all.

I love y'all and I have such a connection with y'all, but there is nothing I could give you because I am a widowed and a childless woman. I have nothing to offer whatsoever. And so through that, it said that Ruth and Oprah

kissed her goodbye and they wept out loud and said to her we will go back with you and your people but Naomi said return home my daughters why would you come with me am I going to have any more sons who could become your husbands return home my daughters I'm too old to have another husband if I thought there was still hope for me even if I had a husband tonight and then gave birth to sons

Naomi was standing in a position to where she knew she was in the opposition of God. And she knew that she had became an enemy of God because she got up and left his provision to go pursue the opposing land. And so... Orpah basically kissed Naomi goodbye and was like, okay, I'm going to listen to you and I'm going to go back to Moab. AKA, she's going back to her old life.

She's going back to the false idolization. She's going back to disobedience. She's going back to opposition with God. But Ruth's response, Ruth's response was a little different than Orpah's. And what Ruth said was, In just a moment, because my iPad shut out for some reason. But Orpah said, or sorry, Ruth said, do not urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go, I will go.

Where you go, I will go.

And where you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God will be my God. This is kind of the part of Ruth's story where everybody quotes it because it just shows her devotion towards Naomi and even how much love and compassion and devotion she had towards her.

And so this is admirable to the kingdom of God and even to God himself, because even though Ruth was an enemy to God and was born as an enemy to God, she still made the deliberate decision to go pursue the things of God because she had an admiration for Naomi and saw and heard about what God was doing for these people.

And so what this shows us is that it shows us two different types of Christians when we're in the opposition of the Lord. And you know it. And when we see Orpah, she was in disobedience with God. She was from an opposing land. And so was Ruth. But the difference between... Them two was a difference of choice. And Oprah decided to go back to her old life.
