2. God ruined my life Ruth 1 v 1 - 22

3. Orpah, Ruth and Naomi …
… how their lives were ruined

4. Orpah, Ruth and Naomi …
… a decision to return

5. Troubles and hardships will come …
Because we make godless decisions
Because we sin
Because others sin against us
Because we live in a fallen world
Because we have an enemy
Because God is disciplining us

6. Troubles and hardships will come …
… but God does not cause evil to happen to us

7. How can we respond to trouble or evil that comes our way?
Like Orpah, we can give up on God
Like Ruth, we can cling to God
Like Naomi, we can be honest with God and our church family
