May 20, 2026 / Pastor Darrell Barrett, Campus Pastor, Berean Christian Church Henry / Berean Christian ChurchRuth 1:1-7
Psalm 37:23 reads, “The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.” (NLT) This verse records God’s active guidance in the lives of believers. There is a major difference between the quality and quantity of one’s life. Quality speaks to how well a person lives, while quantity deals with how long an individual lives. This lesson is designed to examine an episode in the life of Naomi to point out steps that can improve your quality of life.
