In today’s Mercy Service, from Ruth 1:1–14, we reflect on loyalty, loss, and the mercy of God that finds us even in unfamiliar places.

• The pain of famine and loss — how God works through difficult transitions.

• Ruth’s loyalty — loving beyond convenience and choosing covenant over comfort.

• Naomi’s bitterness and God’s mercy — when life feels empty, God is still at work.

• The journey to new beginnings — following God even when the road ahead is uncertain.
