MFM Devotional For Today 2025 MESSAGE:
Nowadays, the media as well as the film industry is awash with stories of conflicts between daughters in law and their mothers in law. Some people now see it as strange occurrence for mothers in law and their daughters in law to love one another and be close friends. It is not strange. The Bible teaches that they ought to be close, just as Naomi and Ruth were.

In our Fire Scripture today, after Ruth had had a male child for Boaz, the women said, “… Thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath borne him.” What is quite striking here is that the women told Naomi that Ruth was better to her than seven sons. What does this mean and what are the lessons in this for us?
First, Ruth proved beyond reasonable doubt to be a trusted friend and companion to her mother in law. Her decision to cleave to Naomi and journey with her back to Bethlehem gave Naomi the fortitude to bear the loss of her two adult sons. Orpah bade Naomi goodbye but Ruth didn’t.
Second, Ruth was a woman of faith. When she said Naomi’s God would be her God and where Naomi went was where she would go, they had just suffered the loss of her husband and his brother and Noami had lamented that the hand of God was against them. Outside faith, no one would want to go with the God that Naomi described to Ruth. On the other hand, Ruth saw light at the end of the tunnel. She chose to trust God and she was not ashamed.
Dear daughter in law, I counsel you to demonstrate Christ’s love to your mother-in-law and every other member of her family. Love conquers all things. Let the virtues that the women of Bethlehem saw in Ruth and made them to say she was better than seven sons to Naomi be seen in your life too! Ruth was a blessing from God to Naomi. Her presence in Naomi’s life was as valuable as a whole quiver full of sons.
