We learn from Ruth that if we're going to let God work in our lives so that we handle our problems rightly, we must live by faith, grace, and hope.

When it comes to problems, we can endure, escape, or enlist the problem. If we attempt to escape, we miss out on learning what God wants us to learn. If we endure, problems become our master and control us. But if we enlist, then our problems become our servants and serve to God’s purpose.
