Day 13 Being Loyal

The Book of Ruth is only 85 scriptures long, but contains a story of critical importance to the Old Testament. It gives evidence of the lineage of David and also gives a great example of loyalty that is evidenced through the story of Ruth and Naomi. For Ruth’s famous words,

"Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me."

Today’s lesson: Be loyal to those who are absent.
