Naomi is clearly out. Of. Hope. Devastated by the losses she’s suffered, she has not kept her eyes on the God of the Promise. While she hears about what the I Am has done for the land she is not trusting what He could do in her life.
I have shared in our previous studies of my own lack of hope that used to define my life. In a broken marriage to an abusive alcoholic husband, infertile, and lonely, I had all but lost hope for me on a personal level in my own life. I knew of hope – God’s hope – in the big picture, but for me personally, in the smallness of my little life, I was on the edge of despair...I will say this for Naomi, at least she’s on the right road.
The journey from Moab to Judah was about 60 miles – a two, maybe three-day journey. At least she was heading in the right direction albeit for wrong motives. Naomi is about to embark on a road that will take her from the land and experiences of despair to a land that will ultimately bring complete restoration. But she still
needs an encounter and little does she know, but she’s trying to let go of the very person who will be an instrument of restoration in her life.
