“And they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.” — Ruth 1:22 (ESV)
In S10E4, why is it significant that Ruth and Naomi arrived in Bethlehem 'at the beginning of barley harvest' (Ruth 1:22) and stayed through the end of the wheat harvest (Ruth 2:23)?
✨ PERSONAL LESSON
You Arrived at the Beginning of Harvest
“And they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.”
Naomi thought she was returning to Bethlehem empty, not realizing she was walking in on Day 1 of the harvest season that would give her family King David and the Messiah!
SAY THIS ALOUD
“What feels like an empty beginning is actually Day 1 of God's harvest in my life.”
