Big Idea: God’s blessing of children obligates me to set them apart for His purpose.

This Mother’s Day, 1 Samuel 1:1–28 reminded us that even through deep pain, anxiety, and unanswered longing, God is still at work. Hannah carried years of sorrow and burden, yet she continued to bring her heart before the Lord in faith. When God answered, she responded with surrender, setting Samuel apart for God’s purpose.

This passage ultimately points us to Christ, who gave His life so we could be redeemed and set apart for the glory of God.

“For this child I prayed, and the LORD has granted me my petition that I made to him.” (1 Samuel 1:27, ESV)

Big Idea: Ruth’s redemption reveals a greater Redeemer.

Book of Ruth 4:1–22 ultimately points us to Christ. A redeemer was needed, and when the cost was clear, only one stepped in and finished the work. That reality finds its fullness in Jesus. He did not step back when redemption required His life—He willingly gave Himself to secure it. This passage is not just about a restored situation; it is about a revealed Savior. Christ is the true Redeemer who fully pays the price, restores what was lost, and secures a future that cannot be taken away.

“So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife… and the Lord gave her conception, and she bore a son.” (Ruth 4:13, ESV)

Can I say right now I am redeemed by Christ
How can I express my gratitude because I am redeemed
Who needs to know that Christ is the true Redeemer

Big Idea: God’s plan can be confirmed through the actions of faith that I express.

Ruth 3:1–18 reveals that faith is not passive—it responds. Ruth moved in quiet obedience, trusting God’s design before she could see the outcome. In her step of faith, God’s plan was not only unfolding—it was being confirmed.

Faith moves when the outcome is unknown.
Faith obeys without needing control.
Faith trusts that God is already ahead.

God’s will is not revealed to those who wait in fear, but to those who walk in faith.

What feels uncertain may be His direction.
What feels bold may be obedience.
What feels small may carry eternal weight.

“Sit still, my daughter, until you learn how the matter turns out, for the man will not rest but will settle the matter today.” (Ruth 3:18, ESV)

Let’s be a people who move in faith and trust God to establish what He has promised.
