"Stop Following People"

7 Therefore she (Naomi) went out from the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah.

8 And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go, return each to her mother’s house. The Lord deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me.

Ruth 1:7‭-‬8 NKJV

Huh??? Imagine being on the road (in the middle of a road trip) and the person you came with suddenly tells you to go back home, return to your mother's house.

It just seems like a Judah road trip was a decision Naomi made and her daughters-in-law just up and followed...

It also feels like at one point... Ruth was the only one REALLY SURE of her next move as she vowed that Naomi's God would now be her God and where Noami goes she would be there too.

(See Ruth 1:16-18 NIV)

Because we see from the text that Naomi at some point changed her mind (for whatever reason) and told her daughters-in -law to return each to her mother's house.

This is why, It's so important that EVERYTHING you agree to, be a decision YOU made and NOT a decision someone else made for you. 

God never called you to be a follower of people and it doesn't matter if that person is OLD like Naomi or YOUNG like Ruth...But as a follower of Christ, You are to let the Holy Spirit lead you at all times.

Why? Because people will change their mind a zillion times, not sure of what's best for you or even themselves...

But God!!

The bible says:

It's the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go...NOT PEOPLE!!

Isaiah 48:17 NIV

Until Next Sunday.
