Determined to stay Together!!!
Turn Around!
The act or an instance of turning about and facing or moving in the opposite direction;
Ruth 1:6-13
6 Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the Lord had visited his people in giving them bread.7 Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah.8 And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother's house: the Lord deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.9 The Lord grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept.10 And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto thy people.11 And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?12 Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons;13 Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the Lord is gone out against me.
Naomi wanted Ruth and Orpah to both turn around. She didn't want them to follow her to the next place in her life. Why would you follow me why would you stay with me. Naomi was pushing them away. Now their are some people who when you push them away they will only go away. Then their are some people who will only want to stay. Some will not even fight to be in your life and some who will. Who will turn around in your life and who will stay?
Easy to Let Go!!!
Ruth 1:14
And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.
Easy :without difficulty or effort.
You didnt even have to tell Orpah twice. She turned around! She was not going to fight what her mother in law was saying. Oh go home you don't want me around anymore well then thats fine then don't be in my life. I will go home. There are people in our life who will not fight to stay in our lives people who are easy to let go. Well Its time to let go so i will turn back and go another way.
Determined to Hold On!!
de·ter·mined
having made a firm decision and being resolved not to change it.
Ruth 1:14-18
14 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.15 And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law.16 And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.18 When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her.
Ruth was determined to hold on. There will be people in your life who are determined to hold on. No matter what life is going to bring you no matter what hardships no matter how much you try to let them go they are still going to be determined to be there. To remain faithful to love you and care for you. They are people you want in your life they are keepers!!
Starting Their Journey Together!
Ruth 1:18 When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her.

come into being; begin or be reckoned from a particular point in time or space.
Ruth determination to stay with Naomi no matter what life brought caused them to begin there journey. It showed the real love that Ruth had for her. Someone who would be able to hold on no matter what life brought. It wouldn't always be easy but they were going to start their journey to what would soon become a better life from were they had been!!
