 路得記一章19-22節( Ruth 1: 19-22 )
路得記一章19-22節
神的小僕人
經文:
19 於是二人同行，來到伯利恆，他們到了伯利恆，合城的人就都驚訝，婦女們說：這是拿俄米嗎？
20 拿俄米對他們說：不要叫我拿俄米，〔拿俄米就是甜的意思〕要叫我瑪拉，〔瑪拉就是苦的意思〕因為全能者使我受了大苦。
21 我滿滿的出去，耶和華使我空空的回來，耶和華降禍與我，全能者使我受苦，既是這樣，你們為何還叫我拿俄米呢？
22 拿俄米和他兒婦摩押女子路得，從摩押地回來到伯利恆，正是動手割大麥的時候。
拿俄米一家人豐豐富富的離開伯利恆，卻失去一切，空空的回來。她的生命是痛苦的，覺得至高者懲罰她，使她受苦，她甚至想改名，因為拿俄米(甜的意思)這名字聽起來是多大的諷刺。
生命的低谷叫我們感到失落徬徨，甚至可能對神產生懷疑，認為上帝只會責罰，沒有恩典。但拿俄米的故事並不是記載上帝的懲罰，反而是記載祂滿有恩典。拿俄米因着路得，她那摩押的媳婦，最終生命翻轉過來，得著祝福。神是賜福的神，祂不願我們白白受苦，但願我們因信蒙福，生命能像路得、拿俄米一樣翻轉過來。
Ruth 1:19-22
Naomi left Bethlehem in fullness but returned empty. She felt that it was all afflicted by God who punished and judged. She did not want her name called Naomi but Mara, which means bitter.
When life is tough we feel the same, as if there is no more joy and God causes us to pain and suffering. Yet Naomi in the end realised God had a plan to bless her through Ruth. God never wants to punish but desire to bless, as long as we turn back to Him and trust Him.
