Their two sons were Mahlon and Kilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in the land of Judah. And when they reached Moab, they settled there.
Lord, as I look at the map and see how close Moab was to Bethlehem, it dawns on me that there was a famine in Israel, but NOT in Moab, which was only a few miles away, and it makes me realize how we are ALL dependent upon Your provision for everything we need to survive. You command the rain and the clouds. You are King of all. Help me to be thankful for all the ways You provide. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
