After Naomi hears about God's provision of food in Bethlehem, she decides to leave Moab and return home. But having lost everything, she has become bitter. Nevertheless, we see that a genuine faith in God can be marked by overwhelming bitterness towards God. A bitter faith is still a genuine faith, and a faith that God accepts.
