If you are newer to Element, we have been in journey called “Planting Roots” over the last three years. This journey focused on generosity, God’s leading, and finding Element a permanent home. In amazing providential care, God has done all of these things in renewed ways over the last 3 years; many times these “ways” were unexpected, but still a blessing.
Ruth is a book providence and redemption. In one sense all of the Bible is about God’s providence and Redemption, but it is very strongly pronounced in Ruth; it is one of the reasons we are calling the series “The Story Within the Story.” All of our stories find meaning and hope within God’s larger story of us. Providence simply means God’s care and guidance over His creation, but when it comes to our lives we should have an understanding that He knows all that has been done to us and all that we have done…and that He can make things work out for His glory and our ultimate joy.
