Ruth 1:1-5
Pain, Trial, Suffering are no respecter of persons.
Judges 21:25
! 1. Naomi’s Misery
Ruth 1:19-21;
* Setback #1: Famine in Israel
* Setback #2: Became a widow
* Setback #3: Daughters-in-law barren
* Setback #4: Sons passed away
Can you imagine Naomi’s plight?
* Is this fate?
* Is it just bad luck?
* Is it the devil?
* Is it God’s judgement?
* What had gone wrong?
* Why did it happen to me?
/Question 1: Does God afflict Naomi by making her life bitter as she had claimed?/
/Question 2: Did Naomi really come home empty?/
! 2. God’s Invisible Hand
Ruth 1:6; 16-17; 22; 2:2; Lev 19:9-10; Ruth 2:3
* God’s invisible hand directed Ruth to that specific field on that specific day and time.
* God’s invisible hand steered Boaz to show favour to Ruth
* Ruth: about 35-50 pounds of grain
* Average worker: 2-5 pounds of grain per day
* Ruth was able to provide aplenty for Naomi.
The invisible hand of God is directing the smallest and most random details in your life.
Ruth 2:19
It was the Lord who:
* Stopped the famine
* Bound Ruth to Naomi in love and devotion
* Directed Ruth’s steps and granted her favour
God has turned Naomi’s mourning into dancing.
* the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me (1:20)
* The Lord’s kindness (hesed) has not forsaken the living or the dead (2:20)
The closer relative refused to marry Ruth.
Boaz seized the opportunity to marry Ruth.
God’s invisible hand:
* Provided Ruth a husband to fend for Ruth and Naomi
* Enabled Ruth to conceive and a son born to Naomi
* Turned Naomi’s shame and disgrace into the highest honour
* Naomi — Obed — King David — Jesus Christ
God is at work to always give each of us a future and a hope!
