Noemi a happy woman, married to Elimelech, had the sons Malon and Quilion and their daughter-in-laws Orpah and Ruth. Suddenly that woman is in a strange land (Moab), but positions herself as a woman of faith, trusting and God fearing. Despite the difficult times she did not let herself fall. She did not know about the Lord's plans for her life, but she had faith that the God she served and believed would have a solution to her problem. "We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God, those who are called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28). She planted love, faith, loyalty, generosity and friendship.

This woman influenced the life of her daughters-in-law with her faith, Orpah and Ruth went on to worship the same God of Naomi even when they were Moabites left their gods and accept the lineage of the Messiah. When Naomi called her daughters-in-law to speak and told them to return, at first they both said no and in the second moment they cried a lot feeling a deep pain and were excited to leave the mother-in-law. In the third moment after Naomi's explanation, they cried again and Orpha despite loving Naomi chose to think about her and returned to her village. Noemi had an important importance in the life of her daughters-in-law, both of whom suffered a lot when asked by their mother-in-law to return to their lands. I think Orfa returned to her relatives not because she stopped believing what Noemi had taught her, but because she did not have the same faith as Ruth.

Ruth seeing that situation felt in his heart such a great love that he did not leave his mother-in-law helpless and showed his love, his fidelity and he did not think only of her, but of his second mother, friend, servant of the living God and decided to continue with her. Affirming: Do not ask me to abandon you, and stop following you; for wherever you are, I will go, and wherever you may sit, I will sit there; Your people are my people, and your God my God
(Ruth 1:16)

Other Women Of Positive Influence

You have risen with the courage of Deborah, a woman of faith and courage, judge and prophetess (Judges 4: 8), like a mother of family used with strategies to overcome. (Hebrews 11: 1) What are your strategies? Good or bad? Have you devoted time to prayer and fasting or have you devoted yourself to murmuring and lamenting?

Ana also appears as a wise woman who with bitterness in the soul decided to adore God restoring her faith and was healed of the bitterness of the soul and received her miracle. But she decided to get up and go to meet the teacher. He had audacity and persevered.

Today the Lord tells women that they need to have experiences with God, each in different ways. The enemy has worked to remove the identity of each one so that they do not influence, it is replacing the spirit of daring with fear, the fear of speaking, the fear of dressing well, there are so many difficulties that when it comes to worshiping God they are without encouragement and believe that "any way" is fine. It is not good. The Lord does not want this "Stand up, women, you are still, and I heard my voice ..." (Isaiah 32: 9)

Do not fear I am with you and do not shut up ... Because I am with you and nobody, no one will chase you ... Do not fear, because from the first day that you have applied to your heart to understand and humiliate yourself, you before your God Your words are heard, and I have come because of you ... (Daniel 10:12)

Brothers let the presence of God flow in your life. The presence of God makes you rest. (Exodus 33:14)

"Wait on the Lord, encourage and strengthen your heart ..." (Psalm 27:14)

Do not worry about tomorrow.
