"Who Is Your Naomi?"

Now Elimelek, Naomi’s husband, died, and she was left with her two sons. They married Moabite women, one named Orpah and the other Ruth. After they had lived there about ten years, both Mahlon and Kilion also died....

Ruth 1:3‭-‬5 NIV 

The text implies that Ruth married one of Naomi's sons and after years of being together as husband  & wife, he died....

Therefore, Ruth would have been left a grieving widow with NO DIRECTION, not knowing what's next for her life, had she NOT decided to follow her mother-in-law to Bethlehem, and be obedient  to her advice, thereafter. 

Think about it:

It's because of Naomi that Ruth re-married and became a mother for the 1st time.

It's because of Naomi that Ruth ended up owning the field she once worked in.

Ruth 2:1-3, Ruth 3:1-13 NIV

Who is the Naomi in your life?

Who is it that cares enough about your life, about your success that they are willing to advise you, willing to give you the wisdom of their years?

SOMEBODY: You think your life will be better once you get some money or you will be successful once you get some money....

Well, How do you explain Solomon?

Solomon NEVER asked God for money...He asked for wisdom to lead his people and ended up with BOTH money & wisdom.

Seek wisdom.

Identify the Naomi in your life.

Cling to and obey their advice.

The bible says: The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this. 

1 Kings 3:10 NIV

Seeking wisdom pleases God and he will add the increase to your life that's needed.

1 Kings 3:5-13 NIV

Until Next Sunday.
