Ruth Chooses to Stay — a 5-minute devotion for Butembo families
Ruth 1 · Loyalty that costs something
After losing everything, Naomi told her daughters-in-law to go home. Ruth refused, promising to stay with her, in her land, with her God. She walked into a foreign country with nothing but that promise.
Families in Butembo tend to run this one at the dinner table. Read Ruth 1 out loud while the plates are still down, ask the question once, and let the youngest answer first. It takes about five minutes and it does not need anyone to have prepared.
Memory verse
“Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay.”Ruth 1:16
Table question
Who in our family needs you to stay close this week?
30-second prayer
God, make us loyal like Ruth — the kind of people who stay. Amen.
Make it stick: let a child read Ruth 1 out loud tomorrow instead of you. Reading it to the family is worth ten times hearing it.
Tomorrow: Ruth in the harvest field (Ruth 2). ArkQuest queues the next reading automatically, so nobody has to decide what comes after tonight.
On Mount Carmel, Elijah rebuilt an altar of twelve stones before calling on the Lord. What did the twelve stones represent?
