#soap # Ruth 04 ## Title: Faithfulness Brings a Lasting Legacy ## Scripture: (Ruth 4:22) “Obed was the father of Jesse, and Jesse was the father of David.” (NET) ## Observation: Ruth was faithful and did the best she could with the life she had been given. The Lord blessed her, but she was still likely not well known in her life. The “success” for her was taking care of her mother-in-law and having a family. She had no idea that her great-grandson would become king. That’s what faithfulness does. It plants long-lasting seeds that we may never see the fruit of, but the fruit will be awesome. ## Application: Be faithful and trust the Lord. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for always being faithful to us.
