Here is today’s Bible reading: Judges 21:1-Ruth 1:22; John 4:4-42; Psalm 105:1-15; Proverbs 14:25.

Ruth 1:16-17 (NIV) 
    But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. [17] Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if anything but death separates you and me.”

Ruth is such an example of loyalty.  She lived for more than just herself.  She was a woman of principle and conviction.  We need people like Ruth today.
