Then Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, "May he be blessed by the Lord, who has not withdrawn His kindness from the living or the dead." Naomi continued, "The man is a close relative. He is one of our kinsman-redeemers."

Ruth 2:20 BSB

Naomi still felt like death.

Living in grief.

And in the midst of her grief and loss she gets this reminder that God is still good. 

Sometimes we look for this big miracle and massive shift in circumstances, but for Naomi it was not even her that was directly impacted, but Ruth. 

Yet in that Naomi could see God's hand, God's heart for the living (Ruth) and the dead (Naomi).

When we feel like death, this story of God and Naomi reminds us that He is good, and that The Redeemer is right here.
