Do you ever feel like the sky is falling down on you?  Where do you turn in the midst of disaster?  If you're like Elimelech and Naomi, your first go-to is to come up with a strategy to fix your own problems.  In this story, the Lord graciously allowed those plans to fail.  Though we often get distracted and place our hope in the things of this world (even good things!), God himself is the only object worthy of our hope because he will never fail to give us what we truly need--in this life and the next!
