Naomi in the Book of Ruth

Hey Bro John,

I was reading in Ruth and it really stood out to me, that with much earnest, Naomi attributed her circumstances in life to God’s doing:

Ruth 1:19-21 “So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, ‘Is this Naomi?’ And she said unto them, ‘Call me not Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me. I went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again empty. Why, then, do you call me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?’”
