Daily Bible Nugget #20, Ruth 1:13

The Nugget:

Ruth 1:13 Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me.

My Comment

This is a verse to challenge the pessimists! Naomi had reason to be discouraged. Many times we think we have reason to be discouraged, and wonder why God does not seem to come through for us in a given situation. Could it be, like Naomi, that “the hand of the LORD is gone out against us”? While this might possibly be true, should it happen that we are being chastened by the Lord, most likely this is often not the case. A careful study of the cross references I have collected for this verse yields many valuable lessons for life in our walk with God.

For those who desire to DIG DEEPER into this issue:

(1) Consult the cross references given in Nelson’s Cross Reference Guide to the Bible on page 266.

(2) Consult the cross references given in The New Treasury of Scripture Knowledge on page 296 or in Logos 5 Bible software for Ruth 1:13.

(3) Lacking access to those two resources, consult the cross references for this passage as I have developed them further given below:

  1. ken sagely says:

    ruth 1.13 would you tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them from
    having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieved me much for your sakes that the
    hand of the lord is gone out against me. this is good verse for us to consider. there are
    2 viewpoints today the worlds way and gods way. rom 12.2 were not to be conformed
    to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. 2 means for arriving
    at the knowledge of the truth: 1. prayerful dependence upon the illumination of the
    spirit. 119.12.18. 2. meditation upon the passage under study and upon the use made
    of it elsewhere in the bible, especially in the nt. example, gen 21 with gal 4.22-31. this
    is comparing spiritual things with spiritual. i co 2.13.

    it grieveth me much. { i have much bitterness} heb 12.15 says looking diligently lest
    any man fail of the grace of god; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled: very good point for us about bitterness its a poison!
    and will poison others also! i jn 4.7 beloved let us love one another; for love is of god, and knoweth god.vs 9 in this was manifested the love of god toward us, because that god sent his only begotten son into the world, that we might live through him. vs 10 herein is love, not that we loved god, but that he loved us, and sent his son to be the propitiation for our sins.

    the hand of the lord is gone out against me. mt 5.45 that ye be the children of your father which is in heaven; for he maketh the sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and unjust and on the unjust. lk 6.35 but love your enemies, and do good, and lend,
    hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the highest; for he is kind unto the unthankul and to the evil. james 1.13 let no man say when he is tempted, i am tempted of god; for god cannot be tempted with evil,
    neither tempteth he any man, 1.17 every good and every perfect gift is from above,
    and cometh down from the father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither
    shadow of turning.

    against me. jer 29.11 for i know the thoughts that i think toward you, saith the lord, thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you and expected end! alot of great truths
    from to the word of god ruth 1.13 for us to claim!
