“But Ruth replied, “Don’t 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 my God.”
Ruth 1:16 · NIV
Ruth had every reason to turn back, and she refused. She chose loyalty when it cost her something — where you go I will go, where you stay I will stay. That is not clinging to a person; that is covenant faith, deciding that God and His people are worth staying for when leaving would be easier. Somebody needs to hear that today: do not turn back just because the road got hard. Stay, and let your God be your God all the way through.
Lord, give me Ruth's heart today — loyal, steady, and unwilling to turn back from You. Help me stay where You have called me and trust You with where the road leads. Amen.
