6 Week Inductive Study of the Book of Ruth, Lesson 6

/

We've come to the final lesson in our short study of the book of Ruth. Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz had no way of knowing how God would use them to shape future events that He had planned. They were just living their lives and trying to be faithful to the God they loved and followed. We too have no way of knowing the significance of our lives or how God may use them for His purposes. How can Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz be an example to us of faithfulness, trusting God, and doing what is right without knowing the big picture for our lives?

This week's lesson showcases the many ways the Lord shows His love and kindness to His children. I hope as you do the study you'll take time to consider the ways the Lord has shown compassion to you as well. Psalm 107:43 says, "Who is wise? Let him give heed to these things and consider the loving kindnesses of the Lord."

This week's lesson is primarily an overview lesson, which is an important, though often overlooked part of Bible study. Taking the time to understand a book and how it's laid out ensures that we'll accurately handle the Scriptures (2 Timothy 2:15).

As you study, try to summarize what you're learning and then share it with a friend. This little step of summing up what you're learning really helps to cement the truths and lessons God is teaching you.

Though these are mini studies, hopefully they will whet your appetite for more of God's Word. Ask yourself basic observation questions about each Psalm:

  • Who is the intended audience?
  • Who wrote the Psalm?
  • What is the author's tone as he writes?
  • What is the author's purpose?
  • Can you tell what situation the author finds himself in?
  • What do you learn about God, His character, and His dealings with men in this Psalm?
  • What are some ways you can apply this Psalm to your life?
  • What truths does this Psalm contain that transcend time and culture?

30 Days in the Psalms, Part 1

/

These mini studies were designed specifically for the Christmas season when our regular Bible study routine often changes. Each study directs you to take a deeper look at one or two aspects of the psalm. You could stop there or use it as a springboard to look deeper yourself. Look for more things you can observe about the Psalm itself and what the author conveys. If you get stuck ask yourself "What can I learn about God's character from this Psalm?" "What are some truths I can apply to my own life?" "Does this Psalm reveal any attitudes in my own heart that need changed?"
