Skipping to the “good part” may seem tempting, but doing so robs us of the wisdom and intimacy found in the hard seasons. In the book of Ruth, we journey through four distinct spiritual seasons: suffering, healing & gleaning, obedience, and redemption. Each one plays a vital role in shaping the testimony and in preparing the heart for restoration.

Remember that God doesn’t waste anything, including pain. The gleaning season, when Ruth gathers leftovers, reveals that there is something valuable left to gather in our brokenness. These seasons refine us and prepare us for the fullness of blessing. 

Listen to this powerful sermon to understand why every spiritual season has a reason.
