Episode 1248: Pay Attention to the ”As It Turned Out" Moments in Your Life

Ruth went out to find a field to work in. As it turned out, she ended up in the field of a wealthy relative named Boaz, who went out of his way to protect her, provide for her, and eventually redeem everything she and Naomi had lost. Just so happened. What a coincidence. In the Bible, whenever you read language like that, pay attention, because God is usually up to something. Boaz was under no legal obligation to do any of what he did. He stepped in out of pure grace, paid the price, and brought two women from emptiness into fullness and from bitterness into belonging.
