In The Field of Boaz. Ruth 2

 

Ruth 2 – In The Field of Boaz

 

Ruth was a young believer, but she knew enough of the Word to understand that she was permitted to glean in the fields during the harvest.  She trusted the God who was concerned about widows and the poor, and He did not fail.

 

When we trust God and obey Him, He begins to work on our behalf.

 

There were at least two men in Bethlehem who could permanently deliver Ruth and Naomi from their poverty and loneliness, and God providentially led Ruth to the field of one of them, Boaz. It was not the bitterness of Naomi but the faithfulness of Ruth that changed the picture.

 

Boaz protected Ruth and provided for her even before she discovered who he was. Instead of living on leftovers, Ruth became a friend of “the Lord of the harvest” who gave her generous gifts.

 

Boaz is a picture and a type of the Lord Jesus Christ. He was a “mighty man of wealth, mighty man of war, and a mighty man of law.”
