Out of the Empty Places 

JUN 04, 2023

Today’s Scripture

Ruth 1:21, NKJV 

“I went out full, and the LORD has brought me home again empty.” 

Today’s Word

In the Scripture, Naomi and her family had moved from Bethlehem to the country of Moab because of a famine. Life was good there until Naomi’s husband unexpectedly died. Then ten years later, both of her sons died. Heartbroken, she decided to move back home with almost nothing but her daughter-in-law Ruth. She returned bitter, but if you follow her story you know that God turned her situation around and brought her great joy. 

There are times when life deals us such a blow that we feel empty, with nothing left to give. We started out pursuing dreams, but a loss, a business didn’t make it, or an illness left us feeling empty. The beauty is that our God is not going to leave you empty and feeling like you can’t go on. He comes into our empty places with strength for the weary, fresh vision, fresh anointing. Even now, God is breathing on your life. You’re about to come out of that empty place. He has something coming that’s going to far outweigh the loss, the heartache, the disappointment. 

Prayer for Today

“Father, thank You that You are able to take the empty places in my life and fill them with joy. Thank You for the new doors that You open and how the right people show up when I need them. I believe that You are breathing fresh vision and strength into me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
