The end of the story of Ruth and Boaz shows us how God often has a plan that we often can't see until we look back at how he has led us. Often God provides for us through the advice and wisdom of God fearing people He sends into our lives. Many feel alone because they don't have people close to them that can give them good counsel. What kind of people do you have in your life? Do you have friends that don't tell you what you want to hear? Can love look like correction?

How does God provide for us at times when we feel alone? Does God sometimes use people to bless us in times of need? Do we sometimes go through suffering without realizing and seeing how God is leaving us examples of His love to sustain us?

How can the church be united in worship? What is worship? Why do we worship? How does worship form the basis for the end time conflict?

Elder John Spellman speaks on the subject of dealing with conflict and the temptation to get even. How should Christians deal with anger? When other treat us wrong, how should we respond?

How does this set a model of what not to do when others treat us wrong.How can believers exhibit patience in hardship?

Has God ever led you to a place in your life where you felt alone? Are there times when you feel alone because you don't understand God's leading and direction? Sometimes we can be where God wants us to be--even in the church--and still feel alone because others don't recognize God's working in our lives. Ruth and Naomi were in Bethlehem Judah, the place where God wanted them to be, yet still felt alone because no one understood where God was leading them.
