“Don’t call me Na`omi [pleasant], she answered them; call me Marah [bitter], because Shaddi has made my life very bitter.”
Ruth 1:20 CJB
We, too, can feel this way. Somehow God has made our lives bitter! This is the farthest thing from the truth!
“I went out full, and Adonai has brought me back empty. Why call me Na`omi? Adonai has testified against me, Shaddai has afflicted me.”
Ruth 1:21 CJB
Like Naomi, we don’t know what God is really doing, we just see the present situation we are in, and at times it doesn’t look good! But our God always has a better plan on what is next!
“For I know what plans I have in mind for you, says Adonai, plans for well-being, not for bad things; so that you can have hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11 CJB
Today, we all must look to Adonai for our hope and future. Don’t get bogged down in your present situation!
Have a blessed day looking to Adonai for your future and your hope!
