Thy People:
My People

And Ruth said, 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.

Ruth 1:16

Ruth 1:1-18

Do loss and grief make me bitter?

How do I get on with living despite loss and grief?

How firmly do I believe that God does not deal with us carelessly?

“…The LORD deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with…” (Ruth 1:8).

Is dealing kindly with others part of my commitment to my family as well as to others?

What do I do when I experience the hand of God against me?

How strong are my relationship cords to God’s people?

[The Scriptures say in Ruth 1:9 -- The LORD grant you that ye may find rest]

“Dear God,”

Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance.

Psalm 32:7

Reading:

Psalm 32

“Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered” (Psalm 32:1).

Am I more disposed to repent or to excuse myself?

Does my definition of repentance match God’s?

Which (if any) sin am I still trying to hide from God?

What do I know about hiding in God?

Must I have a bridle or can God guide me with His eye?

That mercy compassing me about — do others get some from me?

What’s my song today?

[The Scriptures say in Psalm 32:10 -- He that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about]
