Widows in biblical times often faced a life of poverty. Thats the situation Ruth and her mother-in-law, Naomi, were in after each woman lost her husband. But God had a plan to provide security for them while involving Ruth as an integral part of a much bigger plan.
Boaz, a wealthy landowner, knew of and admired Ruth (Ruth 2:5-12), but he was surprised when he awoke one night to see her lying at his feet (3:8). She asked him to spread the corner of his garment over her to indicate that as a close relative he was willing to be her kinsman-redeemer (v.9 NIV). This was more than a request for protection; she was requesting marriage. Boaz agreed to marry her (vv.11-13; 4:13).
Not exactly your typical romantic tale. But Ruths choice to follow Naomis instructions (3:3-6) set up a series of events that placed her in Gods plan of redemption! From Ruths marriage to Boaz came a son (Obed), the eventual grandfather of King David (4:17). Generations later, Joseph was born to the family, and he became the legal father of Marys child (Matt. 1:16-17; Luke 2:4-5)our Kinsman-Redeemer, Jesus.
Ruth trusted God and followed Naomis instructions even though the ending was uncertain. We too can count on God to provide for us when life is unsure.
Read: Ruth 3:1-11
