YOUR STORY ISN’T OVER

Title: Your Story Isn't Over
Author: Tim Badal
Text: Ruth 1:7-18
Let's turn our attention to the subject of moms and women by looking at the book of Ruth this morning. Ruth is a four-chapter book thatBible scholars say this is the most feminine of all the books in the Bible. One of the reasons is it tells a story about women. All the conversations involve women. It's also a book about love, redemption and how God has a plan and purpose, even when life seems dark. That's what I want to focus on this morning. There are a lot of things we could talk about on Mother's Day. Some subjects would be joyful or exciting. But I want to address something different. I want to consider the messes in life. We're going to see some messes in the lives of three women in Ruth 1. Let's face it. Moms, you're really good at takingcare of messes.
Growing up in a family of three boys, my mom took care of a lot of our messes; the physical messes, yes, but also the relational ones-school messes and the different dynamics that took place. We would bring Mom a lot of our troubles and she would readily take care of them. But what happens when the women in our lives have messes in their lives? Where are they to turn? We're going to learn today that these three women had some pretty messed-up lives. Circumstances and situations had caused them to lose their hope and peace. We'll find in this text an example of where to turn when life seems pretty messy.
Maybe Mother's Day isn't a very happy day for you. Maybe you're scrolling through social media, seeing wonderful pictures of people with their moms, seeing admiration for moms. Maybe today your life just isn't there. What's the answer for you? I believe there's a lesson here for those who live messed up lives and how to faithfully to the Lord.
As we'll see today, God takes the messes of our lives and changes them into miracles. God turns the messes in our lives into something we would never have thought possible. But we have to ...
