It is always neat the way things tie together in this journey through the Bible. I had a tough time in many of the Psalms because they are songs/laments in extreme times and my life in comparison is rather dull (and no, I would not wish it to be different!).
The first chapter in Ruth, though, starts with Naomi. Her life, would inspire those psalms. She moves to a new country and loses her husband and two sons and she is forced back to her homeland in hopes to find shelter and food. True, her daughter-in-law, Ruth, tags along too, but she is so bitter that she changes her name to the word bitter: Mara.
