BIBLE STUDY WITH ME | Ruth 1

It's finally time for a new #BibleStudyWithMe series and I AM SO EXCITED to share that we will be doing the book of #Ruth! 🥳
This is the first Old Testament book I've done a Bible study series through, and I love how so much of the Old Testament is written in the genre of storytelling. Ruth is no exception. It's commonly understood as a love story, and it is - but it's not just a love story. It's a rich story of REDEMPTION that ultimately points to the redemption bought for us in Jesus Christ.
In Ruth chapter 1 we meet two of our main characters, Ruth and Naomi - and we find them in a place of dire need. The stage is being set for God to move! This is such a beautiful, masterfully-written story, and I'm so excited to dig deeper into all the little details that ultimately point us back to the character of our incredible God who wrote it. 💛
As always, don't forget to comment below letting me know what you learned from this #BibleVideo, and what verse(s) from Ruth chapter 1 stood out to you most. ✨

IT'S HERE! Our new BIBLE STUDY series! Who's excited to go through the book of Ruth?! 🙋🏼‍♀️ Share some thoughts in the comments below of what stood out to you most from chapter 1. ✨

[@patriciahuapaya4739]

I wanted to study the book of ruth for so long!!! I'm so happy I found your channel!!!

[@kacinicole]

Yay I'm so happy to have you here! 💛

[@alds7243]

God’s timing is ALWAYS perfect.

[@Zz-lm1no]

@@kacinicole Hi Kaci, just wanted to mention how much looking foward to your videos and the video itself get through Irish lockdown, praying for you and your videos, Keep going girl!

[@jodowsett6938]

I’m new n excited 🙏🏻

[@sevierrejohn5625]

I noticed an interesting point (don’t know if you catched it also). This chapter not only reflects blind faith in our spiritual walk with God, but also in our leaders. Naomi kinda served as the leader Ruth is following in this story. Yet despite how faithless and pessimistic her leader is, Ruth still chose to follow (perhaps because she trusted more in God than in Naomi). So perhaps this can also be used to show us how to support our leaders even when our leaders themselves are struggling. Just a thought :)

[@nanabell8693]

Amen🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️. I love it🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️.

[@jemetrisecar]

Great I have never seen this. Yes Ruth exercised being faithful to God no matter what came her way.

[@Knot4Sadie]

That’s good!

[@BIBLE-a-s-m-r]

It may have been because Ruth really loved Naomi’s son, and was in grief- either way god used the entire situation to create Jesus’ line. But why does the genetics of Jesus matter?

[@udontnome]

Do you know your leader personally?

[@heidihattingh9966]

I Love how she decided to become completely vulnerable and trust God completely, stepping out in complete blind faith even after seeing everything that's happened. I find that to be an extreme, monumental display of what our faith as believers should look like. Even when everything seems to go wrong abd we don't understand at all, to still choose to trust God completely and stay dependant on him as well as completely vulnerable but still standing in strenght and determination. WOW!

[@katherinedennison445]

I’m 49 years old and am so impressed by you and your devotion to God and sharing the Word so publicly with others. Your parents must be very proud! 🥰

[@kacinicole]

Aw this is so encouraging, thank you Katherine! Love getting to share His Word 😊

[@bereketbefekadu2191]

good katherine

[@Krzykc]

I feel like I relate to Naomi in this story. I've been going through things lately where I feel as if God has left me behind and is putting me through a struggle I cannot understand the meaning behind. im trying to put my life into Gods hands and understand that the timing of everything he does is perfect but it is really hard for me right now. I hope that continuing on with the books of Ruth I will be able to understand the purpose of the hardship he is putting me through.

[@KindKay]

Bless God... smtmz its to see how obedient we are in the midst of hard times. If we'd leave or reject him. Others is to make us seek him more and stronger in him they'd his Promises. Others is learning to wait n be patient when we want the pains to be over. Others its things still being purged out... smtms is the enemy. I can only suggest u seek the LORD IN WHY... if there anything ur not seeing if he can show you in dream or sm1... and just wait and trust him and Praise him in bad n good times. Amen

[@nicholewalker8592]

Ruth was faithful to Naomi when she didn't have to be and God reward both women. Can't wait for next week ch 2

[@socallawrence]

“Noemi had NO IDEA what God was about to do” INDEED! We are gleaning from her and Ruth’s story in the year 2020 ! 😁

[@celinevalenzuela8455]

This was so helpful. This is Bible study girl! I went straight from the Bible project video and then clicked back after getting the context of the story and found this video and I don’t regret it. The break down the details . I’ve read Ruth before and got the gist of it but I’m excited to dig deeper in these next few videos 🙏🏽💕

[@constancelindsey9170]

You are the best! I'm so glad you are back! This is one of my favorite stories.... that also applies to my personal life. I have been writing an autobiography for six years now that ultimately glorifies God and hopefully saves souls.... And this story relates to some of my testimony. Thanks again for all your effort in creating these Bible study videos....I'm so grateful for the teaching and to be able to pass them along to others in need of the Lord's Word. God bless!

[@shelbylynnyork]

I have been waiting for another BSWM! I'm so excited to be going through Ruth! I absolutely love these videos :)

[@kacinicole]

Aw this is so encouraging to hear! I'm so glad you like them and so happy to have you along for the study 🤗

[@AngelaWang724]

Yay SO excited for the book of Ruth!!!💗 I love the background/context you give before going into the chapter - that was super helpful!🤗

[@kacinicole]

Yay I'm so glad it was helpful! It really shows you how intricate the story is! 🙌🏼💛

[@thalitacruz3690]

Wow! This video is simply amazing! Ruth's story is really incredible and her example of faith, commitment, friendship just encourages us to always trust that God will provide no matter the circumstances. God bless you so much, this bible study video edified me so much!

[@AromaMomBibleStudy]

Thank you so much for bringing out the full meaning of the book of Ruth. It really is exciting! I am working on a Ruth Bible study also. Your advice about context is key. Keep up the great work doing Bible studies! It is nice to see a younger generation woman so passionate about the Bible!

[@divinetenn2750]

Loved this! Especially as in studying the Book of Ruth now. It’s refreshing to hear your in depth points that I may have missed while studying! Thank you for sharing, I look forward to Chapter 2.

[@Blessed2BeABlessing.]

I’m studying the book of Ruth today, and I thank God that he gives you the knowledge to packed so many information to share with us. I love watching your study videos. I always learned from them. Thank you for your dedication and commitment to the body of Christ. Heaven bless you.

[@salamawitpeace]

This is breath taking, this is so eye opening, the story or redemption. Thank you for your obedience to GOD

[@meganlouiseoregan397]

Thankyou Kaci, this is amazing, I recently finished reading through the new testament which I started in January, I then decided only yesterday that I was going to pick up where I left off in the old testament which by coincidence was at RUTH! So your study has now become the start of my journey in the old testament. Great context and history details given, thankyou so much. Ruth is so relatable to my own life right now as I'm feeling some of those things, destitute and in need of a family and then food haha, I am turning 30 soon and still live with my parents which feels not good sometimes. I need to step out in faith abit more like Ruth does I think. Its encouraging to see how God always provides and knows our needs. Thankyou Kaci, really really enjoy your studies. Feeling blessed! Xx

[@caitlincaceres5311]

I just found this video after spending months keeping my distance from God because life became challenging and I felt alone and unloved. Most of my time away was on purpose but the other part of it was seasons of business. I looked for a book and for some reason was drawn toward Ruth. I watched the Bible project to understand the context of it before reading and then shortly after reading the first chapter found your video. God loves to work in our lives haha! I listened and watched to your whole video with so much engagement that I haven’t had in a very long time reading the Bible. I am so thankful that you made this video Bc it really is reaching the right people! Thank you for helping me find my way back! ❤️

[@cortneyrice99]

[@annettemorris2932]

I have to say this is the first time I have listened to your Bible study and I enjoyed it. Ruth 1:16-17 is one of my favorites in the Book of Ruth. For me it shows the love Ruth has for Naomi and her commitment to and faith in God.

[@strangerdanger2]

Ahhh I'm so excited for this book!!!!☺☺😇😇😇

You are a wonderful child of God and you spoke to my heart in a time of need and doubt. God bless you and your sweet family. Keep shining your light for Jesus ad do not get weary in laboring for His glory.

[@tiffy1103]

I'm so grateful you've been obedient to the Lord and shared his word. I was given Ruth for a week I read and read and i said God what do I need to know you obviously want me to read it. I've been so impatient, wanting my partner to commit verbally and wanting my real estate commercial client to pull the trigger each of these men were shown to me in my dreams ( that's usually how God talks to me how I know what to read or whatever ) and yet each if these 2 men started within a week apart of executing what I was shown then each decided to delay. Business and my relationship I feel so much like Naomi sometimes. As it sits my phone was disconnected today I feel defeated last night I totally pushed my partner away or I think I just feel like God wasn't going to fulfill those promises to me. I cried this morning I'm praying and I had it in me to look on KZbin for Ruth and I thank you. I'm going to truly study with you this week while God takes care of what he has promised 🙏🏾

[@Dannycdrummer]

.......all your studies were amazing.......the name Ruth actually means friend.......so when Boaz found out she was a Godly woman you know........Ruths bravery, faith and obedience encourages us to be better followers of Christ.......Dan ヅ❤

[@fanceefree33]

I love how Ruth was so faithful to Naomi , her people, way of living , and to the God of Israel. Ruth now that following Naomi would be way more beneficial than going back to a way of living that would be detrimental.

[@Dazzling64]

Wow, I am amazed at how much I learned from your bible study. In the past I have a hard time understanding the bible and doing it by myself is difficult for me. Right now I am going through a season of waiting with this guy who is a godly man. He put our relationship on hold at the moment because he felt like we need to put our focus on God and trust him on the timing we should start dating again. It has freaked me out and gave me a lot of anxiety. I have been reading the bible and praying to God, but I am scared to trust God with the relationship. As I do this bible study with you on youtube it has helped me gain trust in God again and it made my anxiety go away. I pray as I watch the rest of the videos my anxiety will be gone and I can completely surrender to God. Amen.

The verses that I like go deeper is verse 7, 16 because I feel God using are situations to encourage and strengthen, teach us that we will be able to stand and we not alone no matter what we face in life.

[@achildofthetrueking15]

Ruth 1:16-17 because it gives such a great detail on how loyal and faithful ruth is now commiting herself not only unto naomi, but also to God by claiming Him as her God and allowing punsihment if she was ever disloyal to naomi

[@_deut6.9]

Side note : Boaz is also from the lineage of Judah and Tamar. The Lord is in the details and when we read scriptures enough we see that HE turns everything bad for good and there is forgiveness and mercy to those who practice MERCY as Judah displayed when he tried to take the place of Benjamin

[@tessayoung6499]

What stood out to me is the ending and how God showed up when the didn't expect it with the harvest. I love how you say it's "perfect timing." I interpreted that Naomi believe in the idea of god but not god, however Ruth was loyal to her with faithfulness in knowing that god would provide. Ruth was her great friend like a sister and sisters do life together. Let me know if you thought differently.

[@hisplannotmine.2278]

Awesome!!! Thank u so much !!

[@LaurenCohen67]

Here's my 2 cents addition : In addition to showing kindness and redemption, as well as to explain away king David's Moabit roots, the other reason for this story is showing how, women who work together, can thrive 😀

[@donovanm7397]

I love to do word studies when doing bible study because it helps me understand the passage a bit better. I noticed in vs 19 where it says the townspeople were "stirred" by their arrival. I read the Christian Standard Bible, and my version says "excited about" their arrival. Well, that didn't sound right to me because the Israelites and Moab did not have a good relationship. That was why Naomi didn't want Ruth and Orpah to come back to Bethlehem with her. They most likely would have been ridiculed. So I looked up the verse in the Blue Letter Bible, and the Hebrew word they used there is "hum", a verb meaning "to distract, ring again, make a great noise, murmur, roar, discomfit", etc. I looked up the exact meaning of discomfit, and it means to make someone feel uneasy or embarrassed. That definitely makes more sense than "excited", considering the history between Israel and Moab. Some food for thought!
