“So what should we learn from the first act in Ruth?   Your hardship — even
your tragedy — may not be a judgment for your sin. But we dare not quickly
come to that conclusion.  Like Naomi and Elimelech, none of us is receiving
worse from God than we deserve.  This is a lie I have told myself many
times: ‘I don’t deserve this. I’ve been good…We dare not come to the
conclusion that we are receiving worse from God than we deserve…A good,
holy, loving God is not in the business of glibly using the death of family
members as pawns in a game to get us to know him better. He is in the
business of judging people, for that is his prerogative.”
