Ruth 1:16 Where you go, I will go, where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God shall be my God.

We associate these famous verses with wedding vows, but Ruth actually spoke them to her mother in law after both of their husbands has died. Ruth stood by her elder relative through thick and thin. She was a foreigner, and by the end of the story she had married again. Her grandson was a shepherd in Bethlehem named Jesse, and his son turned out to be King David!! She chose the right God after all.
