## Resource

Life doesn't always unfold the way we planned. Ruth's story reminds us that while we can't always choose our circumstances, we can choose our response. Through grief, uncertainty, and sacrifice, Ruth chose faithfulness over fear and surrender over comfort. This devotional invites Empty Nexters to trust that even in barren seasons, God is still weaving purpose, redemption, and a future greater than we can see.
