Israel is longing for a king, and they need a king. God works providentially in the line of Judah to bring about a king, and ultimately the King who will fix this broken world. King Jesus has come and is coming again, and we long for his appearance. \n\nDevotionables #379: Ruth 1:1-5\nLonging for A King\nRuth: God's Loving Providence"}
