Episode 204 - Hope for the Mom Suffering Loss with Elisabeth Hoefliger

“The same comfort we receive from God we can use to comfort
others in their suffering.” And what a gift comfort is! Today
Stacy talks with Elisabeth Hoefliger all the way from beautiful
Switzerland as we continue our Moms in the Bible series. 
Elisabeth is our Moms in Prayer International Regional
Coordinator of Eastern Switzerland and she is here to share on
our next Bible mom, Naomi from the book of Ruth.  Listen in
as Elisabeth shares the hope and comfort she herself has received
as the Lord has cared for her just like He cared for Naomi.

SCRIPTURES: (NIV unless noted)


“May the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come
to take refuge, reward you fully for what you have done.” Ruth
2:12 (NLT)


So Boaz took Ruth into his home, and she became his wife. When he
slept with her, the Lord enabled her to become
pregnant, and she gave birth to a son. Then the women of the town
said to Naomi, “Praise the Lord, who has now provided a
redeemer for your family! May this child be famous in
Israel. May he restore your youth and care for you in your
old age. For he is the son of your daughter-in-law who loves you
and has been better to you than seven sons!” Naomi took the baby
and cuddled him to her breast. And she cared for him as if he
were her own. The neighbor women said, “Now at last Naomi
has a son again!” And they named him Obed. He became the father
of Jesse and the grandfather of David. Ruth 4:13-17 (NLT)


The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves
those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18


For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
Psalm 36:9


For I know the plans I have for you,” declares
the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11


Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Matthew
5:4


And we know that in all things God works for the good of those
who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28
