God's way is perfect

I have always been impressed by the way God speaks through His Holy Word. Today, before I started to read the book of Ruth, I prayed and I asked God to talk to me and teach me something.

So I read the first chapter which starts saying:- In the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land.-  Honestly, what would you think? I thought:- I would never start a book saying this.- Yes, it is true but God did it. Naomi with her husband and two sons moved to the Land of Moab.  So I continued reading and the third verse says:- Elimelek, Naomi's husband died.- and then in verse five: -Naomi's sons died.-. Before they died they married Moabite women, one named Oprah and the other one Ruth. 

It says that Naomi had no reason to stay there so she decided to go back to Irsael because she heard that there the Lord provided food. She wanted Oprah and Ruth to stay in Moab's land because they belonged there, their families were there and surely there was hope for them to get married again. I was so impressed: it seems like Naomi already knew what the future brough to her daughters in law and it looks like she had no hope at all.. Many times I act like Naomi, I also think:- Hey I know how this is going to end.- But today God taught me that actually I know nothing. I think it was so hard for Naomi to go back alone,without her husband and her sons. But Ruth decided to go with her. Ruth said:- Do not urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. 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.Where you die, I will die and there I will be buried.- In these words the only thing I see is the humility that Ruth had. It should be really the same when I go to the Lord, every time I read the Bilble, I should always say:- Lord,it does not matter what you will tell me to do today, I will follow you the same, I will come the same with you. It does not matter how much it will cost but please Lord, show me what you want me to do and I will.-Naomi thought that the Lord's hand has turned against her but God had another plan for her!

Maybe since the biginning she always thought:- I will go to Moab's land and I will be happy there with my family.- this did not happen and if it would be me I would give up and say:- I am not going away from here, Lord. I will not go home because maybe something else will happen and I am so tired to be overwhelmed by bad thigs.-
Many times I gave up and I let fear and worries come on my way. Many times I did not trust God and his promises.
Now I believe that when God says something it is true, I believe that God has different plans for me, I want to believe that His ways are higher than mine, I know He's perfect and his ways are perfect. I just need to listen to Him. Meanwhile God prepares my heart to be what He will call me to be.
God bless,
