The LORD gave her conception, and she bore a son.

Excerpt

So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in unto her, and the LORD gave her conception, and she bore a son. And the women said unto Naomi: ‘Blessed be the LORD, who hath not left thee this day without a near kinsman, and let his name be famous in Israel. And he shall be unto thee a restorer of life, and a nourisher of thine old age; for thy daughter-in-law, who loveth thee, who is better to thee than seven sons, hath borne him.’

✨ To meditate on today

According to the book of Ruth, when Ruth gives birth to a son, the women of the town bless Naomi, who had lost everything: this child will be the comfort of her old age, and her daughter-in-law, who loves her so much, is better to her than seven sons. Today, tell someone in your family or circle — by blood or by heart — how much their presence and affection mean to you.
