13 So Boaz took Ruth into his home, and she became his wife. When he slept with her, the LORD enabled her to become pregnant, and she gave birth to a son.
14 Then the women of the town said to Naomi, “Praise the LORD, who has now provided a redeemer for your family! May this child be famous in Israel.
15 May he restore your youth and care for you in your old age. For he is the son of your daughter-in-law who loves you and has been better to you than seven sons!”
16 Naomi took the baby and cuddled him to her breast. And she cared for him as if he were her own.
17 The neighbor women said, “Now at last Naomi has a son again!” And they named him Obed. He became the father of Jesse and the grandfather of David.
18 This is the genealogical record of their ancestor Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron.
19 Hezron was the father of Ram. Ram was the father of Amminadab.
20 Amminadab was the father of Nahshon. Nahshon was the father of Salmon.
21 Salmon was the father of Boaz. Boaz was the father of Obed.
22 Obed was the father of Jesse. Jesse was the father of David.

From Tragedy to Triumph
From Tragedy to Triumph
Dr. Jeff Schreve

When walking through the darkest valleys, believers can always have hope because of this key truth: God is for us and He is not against us!  The God of the universe is working for the good of His children who trust in Him no matter what circumstances come our way.   In this encouraging message, Pastor Jeff Schreve reminds us that by pressing into the Lord in the midst of our trials and hurts, His restoration will come to us who are faithful to trust Him for His goodness even when our life circumstances would lead us to believe otherwise.
