In chapter 2 of this book we read how Ruth works in the field behind the harvesters in the hope that they would leave some food behind for her to take home for her mother-in-law Naomi.
Whilst reading the passage we realised how much God provided for these women and especially for Ruth and this without her even knowing. E.g. Ruth 'by coincidence' ends up working in a field that belongs to Boaz, a wealthy and caring man who is a close relative of Naomi. Without embarassing Ruth or putting himself in the spotlight, Boaz makes sure that Ruth ahs more than enough food to bring back to her mother-in-law.
Both Ruth and Noami feel very blessed through this experience and it seems like the previous bitterness and sorrow is starting to turnaround for the better...
Some of us stood still by this generosity of God that reaches out to non or not-yet-believers. We can often forget that God is still very active in the lives of the people who do not know Him yet (HALLELUJAH!). His grace surpasses our understanding and reaches out to the lost and found.
