Thoughts:
1. It is still amazing to think his 4 chapter book is after Judges with its Samson and superhuman feats of strength AND stupidity and coming before Samuel the first great prophet of Israel.
2. The book of Ruth contains no divine intervention of God in the life of Ruth, Naomi or Boaz. It does contain the providence of God.
3. Boaz was Ruth's protector but she still worked the field gleaning barley. Hard work for sure. No sudden free ride to food, family and fortune.
4. This story seems more like our lives today than a "Bible story."
5. It is a clear example of what faithfulness looks like and how God works in our lives in a "normal" way.
6. The little stuff really does matter.
