The brokenness of this world can feel overwhelming. When surrounded by sickness, death, suffering, and violence, it can be easy to think there is no light left in this world. This is the book of Judges and it’s exactly how Naomi felt in the opening chapter of the Book of Ruth. Three women widowed and alone is enough to make anyone bitter and angry- like Naomi was. But when the darkness seems to overwhelm and threatend to undo us, is when even the faintest flicker of light shines the brightest. As we move from Judges to Ruth, we see that flame start to light up the night and we can know that the darkness has not overcome.
