Referenced Scripture:
Ruth 2
Big Idea:
Patiently trust God’s providence as He is always working on your behalf.
Reflection Questions:
1. What did you learn from Ruth 2 that you found interesting, helpful, inspiring, irritating?
2. How have you seen God’s providence in your life?
3. How could you, like Boaz, bring God’s blessing to your employees/co-workers/customers?
4. If you are in a romantic relationship assess it on what Boaz brought to the budding relationship with Ruth: Character; Kindness; Generosity; Humility; Hesed.
5. Compare/Contrast the popular American Christian phrase “Let go and let God” and the Ruthian phrase “Hold on tight and let God.”
6. Any ideas what your “one day” might be?
What’s your next step?
