Reaching Home

Ruth 1

The Story
Naomi and Ruth came back to Bethlehem during the time of the barley harvest. It was the time of Passover. It was also the time of the Feast of the Firstfruits (Lev. 23:1-14).

Naomi wanted her name to be changed to "Mara". She was bitter in heart. But when the Holy Spirit spoke of her in verse 22, He called her Naomi. She was a pleasant lady.
