Ruth 1:1-22 (6-18)
- Ruth was a Moabite

- Ruth kept on serving Naomi until God ended up rewarding her. As you remain faithful in serving others, God will promote you. Ruth 4:14-17.
- Luke 16:10-12 Be faithful where you are, and God will promote you. If you are not faithful in that which is another man's, who will give you that which is your own.
- Esther 2:5-7 Esther was an orphan. She was in captivity.
