TWO PEOPLE, TWO DECISIONS
then they lifted up their voice and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law, but Ruth clung to 1:14 ela.Rute
Each person is distinguished from others by their internal reactions. While Orpah and loving mother cry for her, did not show the same love of Ruth. Undoubtedly, there are many who actually love us, but their interests speak louder. There are some people who would like to see the lost surrendering at the feet of the Saviour, however, if the Lord God called to the mission field, they will say no.
Because there are individuals who are fooled by what the world offers them! Realizing that Ruth did not make the worst decision you can Orpah to have regretted for eternity. Later, Ruth became the grandmother of King David and ancestor of the Son of God. She gave up what seemed to be her happiness, but the Lord knew reward her. So also happen to everyone who love God more than your family, your projects and other things: the Lord will give you the crown of life (Rev. 2:10).
No use to raise their voices in prayer and crying, saying that the Lord loves Him above all else, the important thing is to prove that the love of truth. Ruth clung to Naomi, it was sensitive to God's love. Be sure to cling to the Almighty and do what pleases Him. Who serve Him with all your heart how much experience is advantageous fulfill God's will. There is not one person who regretted trusting in the Lord.
Orpah was not bad, but carnal, and people just can not continue in the faith. When everything goes well, they are with the Lord, but if the situation was reversed and some crisis arises, leave aside one who can help them and look elsewhere. What a shame! We are not like some animals that are looking for a worm to feed. We are beings to whom the Lord has earmarked the Kingdom!
Ruth said: Your people are my people, your God is my God. Wherever you die, I die (Rt 1.16b, 17a). That trust in the God of Naomi! What vision of the power of the Most High she had! By following an elderly woman, daughter did not think that in his youth, he could lose himself. Those who believe in natural things the Creator will achieve nothing. How many were called to a great work, but today, nothing could? If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him (1 John 2.15b).
Who decides to obey the Lord prove they had a much higher profit than those who fled and did not meet the ordinance given. The heavenly Father calls us, invites, and sends team; many, however, find something "more important" things to do than to believe in the Word of God to them and thus lose the great opportunity of life.
In Christ, with love
