(Ruth 1:1) “Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.” It NEVER works out for God’s people to leave their place of abiding with fellow-believers and moving into the fellowship of the unsaved – for any reason! The move of this man ended in the death of himself and his sons, leaving his wife and daughter-in-laws stranded. During times of hardship (famine) is the time we should look to our God, not to the world! It did not work out well at all for him. His wife and Ruth his daughter-in-law, DID look to the Lord and found He is “a very present help”. Trust Him!
