There are many things that can cause unsettling of mind and purpose.
King David , as he waited for his leadership over Israel, King Saul caused his unsettling purpose given by God. David lived in caves, he was on the run, seems like forever, because King Saul would not accept him as king although it was God Himself ordained this. David’s life was unsettled and maybe he wondered, “When will all this hunting me down stop?”. Have you ever felt like this future King?
Or may be you felt like Naomi and her family. She and her family (not by her choice) her husband said , Lets go somewhere else till this famine passed. Oh my, this feeling of unsettled living to leave a place so familiar now seems like we will not see my family members and friends again? Naomi’s life became more unsettling, she lost her husband, and two sons. Now she was alone although she has two daughters-in-law to worry about. What can I do she many have asked herself. Naomi called the girls together and had a family talk. She was relocating back to Jerusalem, she wanted something more familiar and to rebond with people she knew. One of the girl’s went back to family and friends, but the other, Ruth told her, “No way I am not leaving you sister, I am taking my chances with you. Your God shall be my God, your company I need so forget it- I am here to stay and to help look after you”!. What a gal, what a good heart! (Ruth 1: 6-22)

(Psalm 18: 1) says, “I will love you my Lord my strength, the Lord is my rock and fortress, and my deliverer; my God my strength, whom I will trust”.
