Translations:AY Honors/Ruth and Naomi/Answer Key/7/en
From Pathfinder Wiki
Events:
Pathfinders choose three events to discuss, exploring how each reveals God’s care and planning.
- Leaving Moab (Ruth 1:6-7):
- » Expanded Discussion: Naomi, widowed and grieving her two sons, hears God has blessed Bethlehem with food after a famine drove her family to Moab years earlier. Despite her sorrow, she decides to return—a bold step trusting God’s provision. Ruth, also widowed, joins her, leaving her homeland. This move isn’t random; God orchestrates their return to set His plan in motion, leading them to Bethlehem where redemption awaits. It shows God’s care in guiding us home, even through loss.
- » Cross-Reference: Psalm 23:3 – “He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.” Like Naomi, God leads us when we’re lost.
- » Prompting Questions:
- “Why do you think Naomi wanted to go back to Bethlehem?”
- “What’s it like to leave everything behind, like Ruth did?”
- “How might God have been helping them, even when they were sad?”
