DISCOVER WHO GOD IS
THE BLESSING
Invite the Lord’s blessing:
Ruth 4:11
“And all the people who were at the gate, and the elders, said, “ We are witnesses. The Lord make the woman who is coming to your house like Rachel and Leah, the two who built the house of Israel; and may you prosper in Ephrathah and be famous in Bethlehem.” Who are witnesses to your life?
HUMAN FAILUR; GOD’S REDEMTION
Invite the Holy Spirit to speak to you:
Ruth 4:1
“Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there; and behold, the close relative of whom Boaz had spoken came by. So Boaz said, “Come aside, friend, sit down here.” So he came aside and sat down.” Are you in any way at a gate, a cross road, a choice to be made:

Ruth 3:11“And now, my daughter, do not fear. I will do for you all that you request, for all the people of my town know that you are a virtuous woman.” To what situation is He telling you, “And now, my daughter, do not fear. “?
Why did Boaz promise Ruth to do for her all that she requested?
COMFORT WITHOUT COMPASION
Comfort without Comparison
Ask your Father to show you His love afresh:
Ruth 2:13
“Then she said, “Let me find favor in your sight, my lord; for you have comforted me, and have spoken kindly to your maidservant, though I am not like one of your maidservants.” Describe comfort:
FAVOR IN HIS SIGHT
“So Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “ Please let me go to the field, and glean heads of grain after him in whose sight I may find favor.” And she said to her, “ Go, my daughter.”
Why do you think the Author mentions Ruth’s nationality, but not Naomi’s?
GREAT WEALTH
This entire week, we will mine the treasures found in this one verse: Ruth 2:1
“There was a relative of Naomi’s husband, a man of great wealth, of the family of Elimelech. His name was Boaz.” Day 1:
Scholars agree that Boaz is a type of Jesus, and we will approach him as such. Invite Him to show you more of Who He is:
