WOMEN IN THE BIBLE NAOMI and RUTH

RUTH 1-4
|
| | RUTH’S LOYALTY TO NAOMI: JOURNEY TO BETHLEHEM | | |
In the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land, and a man from Bethlehem in Judah, together with his wife Naomi and two sons, went to live for a while in the country of Moab. Now Naomi’s husband died. Her two sons married Moabite women, one named Orpah and the other Ruth; both also died, and Naomi was left without her two sons and her husband. When she heard in Moab that the LORD had come to the aid of his people by providing food for them, Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go back, each of you, to your mother’s home.” At this they wept. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law good-by, but Ruth clung to her. “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.” So the two women went on until they came to Bethlehem.

| | RUTH’S INDUSTRY, GLEANING | | |
Now Naomi had a relative on her husband’s side, a man of standing, whose name was Boaz. And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Let me go to the fields and pick up the leftover grain.” So she went out and began to glean in the fields behind the harvesters. As it turned out, she found herself working in a field belonging to Boaz.

Just then Boaz arrived from Bethlehem and greeted the harvesters. Boaz asked the foreman of his harvesters, “Whose young woman is that?” The foreman replied, “She is the Moabitess who came back from Moab with Naomi. She said, ‘Please let me glean and gather among the sheaves behind the harvesters.’ She went into the field and has worked steadily from morning till now, except for a short rest in the shelter.” So Boaz said to Ruth, “My daughter, listen to me. Don’t go and glean in another field and don’t go away from here. Stay here with my servant girls. I have told the men not to touch you.” At this, she bowed down with her face to the ground. She exclaimed, “Why have I found such favor in your eyes that you notice me—a foreigner?” Boaz replied, “I’ve been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband—how you left your father and mother and your homeland and came to live with a people you did not know before. May the LORD repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”

One day Naomi said, “Boaz tonight will be winnowing barley on the threshing floor. Wash and perfume yourself, and put on your best clothes. When he lies down, note the place where he is lying. Then go and uncover his feet and lie down. He will tell you what to do.” Ruth went down to the threshing floor and did everything her mother-in-law told her to do. In the middle of the night something startled the man, and he turned and discovered a woman lying at his feet. “Who are you?” he asked. “I am your servant Ruth,” she said. “Spread the corner of your garment over me, since you are a kinsman- redeemer.” “The LORD bless you, my daughter,” he replied. “This kindness is greater than that which you showed earlier: You have not run after the younger men, whether rich or poor. And now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do for you all you ask.”

Well said, Ben! He is active in my everyday life, as in yours, I’m sure. And, as we’re informed in Romans 8, His activity is always for our good.

Anecdotal accounts portray her spiritual beliefs to be just as confused as her name. Hoping she begins emulating Naomi and Ruth.

There are many different types of stories in the Bible. This is one right out of a Hallmark movie.
