The Book of Ruth

Naomi as a Winner of Souls

God could use Naomi as an instrument to lead souls out from the land of Moab (the world) after she had suffered in the flesh and ceased from sin.

She convinced her daughters-in-law, who did not know the land of the Lord, that they should accompany her. She described it to them as a glorious land, a land that flowed with milk and honey, a land whose inhabitants had strict but good laws, whose judges enforced righteousness. Peace and order ruled in this land, and in its midst was the large house of bread, Bethlehem. What a glorious land it was! It was the Promised Land.
