1 Peter 5:10
How do you hold on when everything falls apart? Naomi’s story begins with famine and ends with funerals. Leaving Bethlehem for Moab, she hopes for survival—but finds sorrow. Her husband and sons died, leaving her empty and bitter. Yet even in her grief, Naomi doesn’t give up on God. She returns home, not with answers, but with faith that God’s story isn’t finished. Today, many of us carry hidden heartaches—loss, uncertainty, and weariness. Naomi reminds us that grief doesn’t cancel out faith. Even in tears, quiet trust invites God to rebuild what feels ruined. Her journey shows that restoration often begins when we keep walking, even when we don’t understand. If your heart feels heavy, take hope: suffering is never the end of the story. God is still writing. Like Naomi, you may not see the whole picture now, but grace is already at work.
