Effect of serious change
Naomi on hard times – famine
Bad to worse – husband , soulmate and breadwinner dies
And worse still – both sons die soon after married
Naomi heads back to own town – in her own eyes a nothing; empty of hope and bitter
A new turn
Daughter - in - law(Ruth) asks “can I go gleaning?”
In evening Naomi asks “where did you get all that?”
Naomi responds “God has not left off showing his kindness to living and dead”
Adding “That man (Boaz) is one of our kinsman- redeemers”
Step of faith
Naomi appeals through Ruth for kinsman - redeemer to fulfil obligation
“How did it go?”
Boaz said “I will buy your land and I will marry you. I swear before God I will do it; and I will do it immediately!”
Redemption
Land is redeemed, Daughter – in - law married and presently bears a son
Naomi raises this , her grandson, to the blessing of all the women
“Praise the Lord who has not left you without a kinsman-redeemer. May this boy become famous throughout Israel.”
Grandson becomes grandfather of King David
Whatever the situation people of God find themselves in God has provided a deliverance, which if taken , both blesses and brings them into God’s eternal purpose.
He who did not spare his own Son , but gave him up for us all –how will he not also , along with him, graciously give us all things? (Rom 8:32)
