In the tiny book, Ruth, wedged between books that tell us so much about the backsliding of God’s people, two widows, Orpah and Ruth, were faced with the same choice – whether to stay with their shared 
mother-in–law, Naomi, or return to their family homes where they could begin life again. As it turned out, Ruth stayed with Naomi and Orpah left. Orpah did no wrong; indeed her choice was a commonsensical one but Ruth made the better choice. Always, always, Lord, help me to choose not what is good but what is best.
