Naomi's 2nd And Last Major Decision In Her Life | Aug 2, 2024
Welcome to "Victorious Daily Devotion" in the most wonderful and loving name of Jesus Christ! πββοΈπππ
Topic : Naomi's 2nd And Last Major Decision In Her Life.
Here is her 2nd major decision:
Ruth 1: 6th verse. Then Naomi arose with her daughters-in-law that she might return from the country of Moab, for she heard from the country of Moab that the Lord has visited His people in giving them bread.
Our God is a God of second chance. He has given us freedom. If we go away from Him He will not force us. Because He has given us free will. But He waits for us to return back. There are soo many Christians who tasted the Love of Christ and the praise of Judah and had visited the "House of Bread" in Bethlehem but went back to Moab and literally died spiritually.
We know the story of prodigal son in Luke 15th chapter 11 to 32 verses. Father never went out in search for him. Because son went on his own will and interest. But father was waiting everyday for His return. Weeks months and years passed away, but still he has never given up waiting for Him. One day he saw his the same old wayward son far away weak, pale, shabby with begarry dress coming towards home. When the son comes near, he repents of what he did and asks him to keep him as his hired servant. Did the father do that?
Immediately he orders for a big feast and to dress a fatted calf and puts on the best robe, and new sandals and a great feast of celebration took place.
Similarly the Lord was waiting for Naomi to return back. He is also waiting for all those who left the first love. We will have nothing but sorrow of sin today and the prospect of hell tomorrow. If we are stubborn, God will not force but with love He waits for His wayward children to comeback. Father said, "My son was dead and is alive again. He was lost and is found."
Naomi did not have the peace and joy when she was in Moab. She had the consequences of losing her husband and two sons. She was crestfallen and heartbroken.
The first major decision wrecked her life and her family. With great joy and happiness I would love to describe with you Naomi's 2nd major decision in her life and ofcourse it's been her last major decision. This decision of Naomi to me has been the greatest and the most precious decision she took. We can read Word by Word in 6th and 7th verse.
First thing: She heard in the country of Moab that the Lord has visited His people in Bethlehem. Of course from where or from whom she heard is not written.
She alongwith her daughters -in-law rose that she might Return from the country of Moab back to her Bethlehem Judah.
Then she left Moab, the sinful and destructive city and moved away from Moab setting her focus to reach her final destination of "Praise" and "House of Bread." π .
She Realised, Repented, Rose and Moved Away from destruction to a place of abundance and praise and joy.
The rest of her story is History.
Whether you may be a Pastor, Evangelist, Engineer, Doctor a leader. This story of Naomi and prodigal son reminds us that a person's repentance is purely a personal matter between God and himself or herself. And we cannot and must not judge their condition. What spiritual condition we are is known to none but the Lord. You may have everything but you must be missing the important thing. Joy, peace and assurance.
The God of Naomi is the God of you and me. If you have lost the joy and happiness you can comeback and be blessed like Naomi with
-
1.
God's Joy and Praise
2.
God's Presence and
3.
God's Providence.
He knows each and every one of our Spiritual state and condition.Those who have gone away from Bethlehem to sinful world Moab, we pray for their comeback so that you will bless them with Praise and your loving and protective Presence and also bless them with Providence in abundance. ....
If you are blessed with devotion you are welcome to share with us.
God bless! ππ»ββοΈπππ
