Under God’s Wings of Favor

The life of faith is mysterious blend of human responsibility and divine providence. Scripture clearly states that believers proactively plan their steps…but that God divinely directs those pathways to fulfill His ultimate plans for us. This is where a providential intersection of Ruth’s decisions and God’s determination for her life occurs. In all of what happens in Ruth chapter two, we see believers at their best and God’s wisdom on full display. As we trust and obey in our own daily decisions, we also will encounter eventual favor under the sheltering wings of the Almighty.
