October 8, 2020 | Miller Chapel Scripture: Ruth 3:6-13 Just as Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz all had plans for how to find redemption, so do we cooperate with the grace of God. Receiving grace is not a passive process, but it involves a lot of searching. Along the way, God redeems our flawed or questionable plans. Naomi and Ruth’s plan was to appeal to Boaz as their next of kin, which can also be translated as redeemer. Ruth appeals to his cloak to be the wings of God under which she will find shelter. This is not an act of submission, but of taking control of their situation. God uses this plan. So, we need to get beyond the notion that planning is not spiritual.
