Come Follow Me

with

Be a Loyal Servant

Reinforces this week’s “Come Follow Me” study: Ruth; 1 Samuel 1-3
“My Heart Rejoiceth in the Lord”

Scripture:

Ruth 1:16

“And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:”

Song:

I Feel My Savior’s Love, verse 4, Children’s Songbook page 74

Lesson:

Naomi and her husband moved to Moab with their two sons. The sons married Orpah and Ruth. Naomi’s husband and her sons died suddenly. Naomi told her daughters-in-law that they could go back to their own families, but Ruth wanted to stay with Naomi, promising to follow her and her God. Naomi and Ruth moved back to Judah. As Ruth was out gleaning in a corn field, she met Boaz. Boaz owned the field and offered to help Ruth. Ruth told Naomi about Boaz and Naomi realized that Boaz was a near kinsman who could marry her and take care of her and Naomi. The Lord blessed Ruth for her loyalty and faithfulness.

Hannah was sad because she hadn’t been able to have children. She went to the temple and prayed outside the temple wall that she would be blessed with a son. She promised the Lord that she would give her son to Him to serve Him. The priest saw her and after talking with her, he promised her that her prayer would be answered. Hannah soon had a son and named him Samuel. The Lord blessed Hannah for her faithfulness. Hannah was loyal to God and fulfilled her promise. When he was old enough, Hannah brought Samuel to the temple to serve the Lord.

Quote:

“We show our loyalty to the Lord by being obedient to parents, being respectful of our brothers and sisters, following Church leaders, and fulfilling our church callings and priesthood responsibilities. Loyalty includes being obedient to the laws of the land and the commandments of God. Loyalty to employer and employee, demonstrated by an honest dayʼs work and an honest dayʼs pay, is part of our loyalty to the Lord, for what we do unto each other we do unto Him. It means standing up for that which is right when our associates would persuade us to do wrong.” Rex D. Pinegar
