In Ruth 1, we meet three men and three women, who suddenly separate, leaving all in apparently impossible situations. By the end of the first chapter, there is a ray of hope for the women but none for the men. Even so, one of the women remains convinced that God is against her, since her life has taken tragic turns. As we face suffering in our own lives, we also can conclude that God is against us, unless we consider what he did by sending his own Son.
Dying and rising with Christ through faith transforms wives and husbands and solves the basic problem of marriages.
"Humble yourselves, therefore, under the might hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you" (1 Peter 5:6).
Christians need to walk wisely by being filled in the Holy Spirit.
