Stress is part of life. Tension is the result of living in a fallen world. We stress about finances, health, relationships, etc. One of the many benefits of heaven and the New Earth is a life free from stress, but until then, how do we handle stress? The second chapter of Ruth gives us a picture of how to life in stressful times. By following her example, we can see the hand of God at work in our lives, especially when we love Him and are following Him.
