Ruth displayed faithfulness to her mother-in-law & her God during the most difficult time of her life and God took notice of that and rewarded her for it. The faithful tend to find themselves in the right place at the right time and that was the case with Ruth. Ruth “happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz” (Ruth 2:3). And that is where things started turing around for Ruth & her mother-in-law Naomi. They found a “redeemer” who was willing and able to do something about their circumstances and he did what a godly Israelite was supposed to do in that time. Boaz provided & protected Ruth while she gleaned food from his field and eventually he married Ruth. Ruth got the great honor of being included in the lineage of King David, one of the most important figures in the old testament, and in the lineage of the Jesus the Messiah, the King of Kings. God took a bitter and difficult circumstance that Ruth and Naomi experienced and made something beautiful and sweet out of it all. And He can do the same for you. Know that God will bring sweet redemption out of the most bitter & difficult situations in your life. Do what what is right in God’s sight and live faithful before Him and He will put you where you need to be & lead you to do what you need to do. Look for traces of God’s goodness in your times of trial.
