Decision Time for Naomi
Ruth 1:6-18
“Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all.”
“In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
“For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weakness, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”
“Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations.”
“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”
“Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”
“Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep your word.”
“It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn your statutes.”

“Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.”
“If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.”
“For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ, you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake.”
