1.    Bread & Praise 

a.    Ruth 1:1 Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem Judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons. 2 And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem Judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there. 3 And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her two sons. 4 And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years. 5 And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband. KJV

                              i.         Bethlehem - house of bread

                            ii.         Judah - praise 

2.    Where Are You From?

a.    Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. KJV

                              i.         Before you were created you were on the mind and in the heart of God.

b.    Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: KJV

c.    Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; KJV

                              i.         You are from the heart and mind of God before all else

                            ii.         Like a fish that cannot live out of water you were not created to exist apart from God

1.    Acts 17:28 For in him we live , and move , and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. KJV

3.    Atmosphere & Expectations

a.    You were designed to live in an atmosphere surrounded by God

                              i.         God gave us the "recipe" for a perfect atmosphere

1.    Psalms 22:3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. KJV

b.    Don’t forget that while all the evil was happening  in the Book of Judges the Plan of Salvation and life was being carried out in the people in Ruth simultaneously A person needs to choose whether they will live in The House of Bread and Praise or Moab

4.    Where Babies Come From

a.    Ruth was married for around ten years in Moab and never produced a child - when she "went home" to Bethlehem Judah and married Boaz, and old man, she became pregnant and bore a son.

                              i.         The thing inside you will not be birthed until you are in the right place to sustain it, you have part of the promise but conception is waiting - on you 

1.    Your praise may cause birthing pangs and bring you to the point of labor and giving birth

2.    God wont allow your dreams to be fathered by "wasting away" or "sickly" but rather by strength!
