Like Ruth

Ruth 4:15 (New International Version)

For your daughter-in-law, who loves you and who is better to you than seven sons,

This is the statement the Israelite women make to Naomi about Ruth at the close of the story. Wow! What a testimony of Ruth we see from the mouth of the Israelite women. We all know that Ruth stands as a wonderful example in the Bible because of her devotion to her mother-in-law. We still see an enthralling testimony of Ruth, a Moabite, coming forth from the mouths of Israelite women. And this exaltation about Ruth is something marvelous. For bible commentary says, that for a woman to have seven sons is a symbol of completeness of God's blessings. And Ruth's presence in Naomi's life is regarded higher than that.

How much more we who are called by His name stand as a testimony before others? Do people in the world exclaim the same kind of expression about us? We who are called Christians or believers ought to stand as a powerful testimony through our life and the character we display...only then we will glorify God and our Savior Jesus Christ.
