Turning Away; How Tragedy Gets Our Full Attention Ruth 1:1-6

The book of Ruth begins by exposing how the tragedies of life got the full attention of Elimelech and tempted him to make unwise decisions that caused more tragic outcomes.

This providential book begins thus so that we may realize that the tragedies of life tend to get our full attention and if not put in proper perspective can cause us to make unwise decisions and put ourselves and our families in jeopardy of judgment and weaken the covenant people of God.   Ruth 1:1-6
