Takeaways:

Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Before you do anything, you need faith. Trusting God is the single most important thing you can do today.

A Reason to Be Bitter

• It’s really difficult to have faith when life is bitter.
• Bitterness clouds our perspective and robs us of faith. Our feelings tell us that God is not loving, or that he doesn’t care, or that he has checked out on us.

Formed Through Struggles

• Ruth made a statement to Naomi, “Your God will be my God and where you die, I die.”
• We don’t get to Christlike character on the road with no suffering or challenges.

The Redeemer

• Jesus is the one who is responsible for your provision and protection.
• Don’t let bitterness rob you of your faith.
