Ruth – Week 6, Thursday

Obed’s genealogy contained people who had questionable reputations (eg. Tamar in Gen 38 and Rahab the prostitute in Jos. 2 mentioned in Matt. 1:5).  Yet God still used those people powerfully.  Is there anything in your past or family’s past that you’re afraid might hinder God from working?

Read Ruth 4

Ruth the Moabitess became the great-grandmother of David.  Jesus came from this same genetic line.  What does having a non-Israelite in the lineage of the Messiah say about God’s nature and character?  How does this relate to you?
