Good afternoon Christ Fellowship.
Today, we are going to continue our series through the book of Ruth. We will be covering Chapters 2-3.
Last week in chapter 1, we saw Naomi move to Moab with her husband Elimelech and their two sons. Over the course of 10 years in Moab, Naomi’s husband dies, and later her two sons die, leaving Naomi with her two Moabite daughters in law.
One decides to go back to her family, but the other is Ruth, who abandons her people and her gods and binds herself to Naomi and the God of Israel.
So they return to Bethlehem together, and upon returning, Naomi announces that she has a new name. She abandoned her old name Naomi, which means pleasant, for a new name, Mara, which means bitter.
Then chapter 1 ends with a sentence that transitions into the next scene in the narrative.” And they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.”
And that sets us up for our text today.
If you are able, would you please stand in honor of the reading of God’s holy, inspired, and inerrant word?
2:1 Now Naomi had a relative of her husband’s, a worthy man of the clan of Elimelech, whose name was Boaz. 2 And Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, “Let me go to the field and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight I shall find favor.” And she said to her, “Go, my daughter.” 3 So she set out and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers, and she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the clan of Elimelech. 4 And behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem. And he said to the reapers, “The LORD be with you!” And they answered, “The LORD bless you.” 5 Then Boaz said to his young man who was in charge of the reapers, “Whose young woman is this?” 6 And the servant who was in charge of the reapers answered, “She is the young Moabite woman, who came back with Naomi from the country of Moab. 7 She said, ‘Please let me glean and gather among the sheaves after the reapers.’ So she came, and she has continued from early morning until now, except for a short rest.”
8 Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Now, listen, my daughter, do not go to glean in another field or leave this one, but keep close to my young women. 9 Let your eyes be on the field that they are reaping, and go after them. Have I not charged the young men not to touch you? And when you are thirsty, go to the vessels and drink what the young men have drawn.” 10 Then she fell on her face, bowing to the ground, and said to him, “Why have I found favor in your eyes, that you should take notice of me since I am a foreigner?” 11 But Boaz answered her, “All that you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband has been fully told to me, and how you left your father and mother and your native land and came to a people that you did not know before. 12 The LORD repay you for what you have done, and a full reward be given you by the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge!” 13 Then she said, “I have found favor in your eyes, my lord, for you have comforted me and spoken kindly to your servant, though I am not one of your servants.”
14 And at mealtime Boaz said to her, “Come here and eat some bread and dip your morsel in the wine.” So she sat beside the reapers, and he passed to her roasted grain. And she ate until she was satisfied, and she had some left over. 15 When she rose to glean, Boaz instructed his young men, saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves and do not reproach her. 16 And also pull out some from the bundles for her and leave it for her to glean, and do not rebuke her.”
17 So she gleaned in the field until evening. Then she beat out what she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley. 18 And she took it up and went into the city. Her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. She also brought out and gave her what food she had left over after being satisfied. 19 And her mother-in-law said to her, “Where did you glean today? And where have you worked? Blessed be the man who took notice of you.” So she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked and said, “The man’s name with whom I worked today is Boaz.” 20 And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by the LORD, whose kindness has not forsaken the living or the dead!” Naomi also said to her, “The man is a close relative of ours, one of our redeemers.” 21 And Ruth the Moabite said, “Besides, he said to me, ‘You shall keep close by my young men until they have finished all my harvest.’ ” 22 And Naomi said to Ruth, her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his young women, lest in another field you be assaulted.” 23 So she kept close to the young women of Boaz, gleaning until the end of the barley and wheat harvests. And she lived with her mother-in-law.
3:1 Then Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, “My daughter, should I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you? 2 Is not Boaz our relative, with whose young women you were? See, he is winnowing barley tonight at the threshing floor. 3 Wash therefore and anoint yourself, and put on your cloak and go down to the threshing floor, but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking. 4 But when he lies down, observe the place where he lies. Then go and uncover his feet and lie down, and he will tell you what to do.” 5 And she replied, “All that you say I will do.”
6 So she went down to the threshing floor and did just as her mother-in-law had commanded her. 7 And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. Then she came softly, uncovered his feet, and lay down. 8 At midnight the man was startled and turned over, and behold, a woman lay at his feet! 9 He said, “Who are you?” And she answered, “I am Ruth, your servant. Spread your wings over your servant, for you are a redeemer.” 10 And he said, “May you be blessed by the LORD, my daughter. You have made this last kindness greater than the first in that you have not gone after young men, whether poor or rich. 11 And now, my daughter, do not fear. I will do for you all that you ask, for all my fellow townsmen know that you are a worthy woman. 12 And now it is true that I am a redeemer. Yet there is a redeemer nearer than I. 13 Remain tonight, and in the morning, if he will redeem you, good; let him do it. But if he is not willing to redeem you, then, as the LORD lives, I will redeem you. Lie down until the morning.”
14 So she lay at his feet until the morning but arose before one could recognize another. And he said, “Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor.” 15 And he said, “Bring the garment you are wearing and hold it out.” So she held it, and he measured out six measures of barley and put it on her. Then she went into the city. 16 And when she came to her mother-in-law, she said, “How did you fare, my daughter?” Then she told her all that the man had done for her, 17 saying, “These six measures of barley he gave to me, for he said to me, ‘You must not go back empty-handed to your mother-in-law.’ ” 18 She replied, “Wait, my daughter, until you learn how the matter turns out, for the man will not rest but will settle the matter today.”
Let’s Pray
Chaos theory is an area of scientific study and a branch of mathematics. Those who study chaos theory seek to understand some of the most complex systems that we can find in the universe. They’ll try to record data and find patterns. They’ll focus on the initial conditions that cultivated the complex system that they study.
Maybe you’ve heard of the butterfly effect. It’s something that is often used to illustrate chaos theory.
It’s the idea that over the course of time and over a complex series of causes and effects something as insignificant as the flutter of a butterfly’s wings can eventually become something as destructive as a hurricane.
It’s an interesting idea.
Causes and effects. Actions and reactions.
We can observe so many things. We can see patterns, and we can make highly educated guesses about how those things happen and what might happen as a result. But as Christians, we know that there is something incredibly important missing from the basic understanding of something like chaos theory.
The world isn’t dictated by a mere list of causes and effects. Even if we could possibly list out every single action and reaction across this planet (which we can’t), and if we could possibly begin to understand why all of those actions and reactions happened (which we can’t), even if we could, our understanding would be incomplete if we didn’t recognize this one reality..
God did it.
However complex or simple something is, we can trace it back to this one reality. God is sovereign, and he providentially moves in the world to accomplish his will.
As Christians, we presuppose this. Whatever may happen in our lives, God is working. Last week, we saw the tragedy that created Naomi’s bitterness and we talked about how to respond to the reality of God’s providence in crisis. This week, we are going to consider what this looks like after the initial flair of crisis has cooled. How do we understand God’s providence during the times that feel more mundane?
Here is our first point today
In His supernatural providence, God
Guides every moment of our lives
In his supernatural providence, God guides every moment of our lives
Chapter 2 opens by introducing the character of Boaz. “Now Naomi had a relative of her husband’s, a worthy man of the clan of Elimelech, whose name was Boaz.”
Then look down in verse 3. “So she set out and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers, and she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the clan of Elimelech.”
Did you notice that? She happened to come to Boaz’s field.
Boaz who is one of the redeemer’s of Elimelech. Boaz who is a man of means. Boaz who cares enough about the law of God that he is honoring the law by leaving margins for the poor to glean.
I want to expand on why this is extraordinary.
Do you remember the setting of this book? We learned this back in 1:1. “In the days when the judges ruled.” This happens during the time of the judges of Israel. If you aren’t very familiar with the book of Judges, let me summarize it for you. In Israel’s history, those years can be summarized as a downward spiral into a cesspool of rebellion punctuated by a few bright spots. The guiding principle in the book of Judges is that “there was no king. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.”
So back to Ruth, It was during this time in Israel’s history, that she happened to come into the field of a man who was righteous enough to actually obey what the law said when it would cost him financially to do it. The law required that landowners leave some of their harvest for the poor, and if anything fell on the ground, they had to leave it for the poor. Boaz did this, and didn’t only do it in the good times. They were coming off of a famine, so every grain could be sold at a premium.
She happened to come into this field of Boaz. This is the same Boas who happens to be the son of Rahab. We learn that from the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 1. Do you remember who Rahab is? Rahab was the prostitute in Jericho who protected the Israelite spies and who abandoned her people in order to identify with the people of Israel. That is Boaz’s mom!
Boaz was familiar with women who were downtrodden by society. He knew that God’s heart for redemption superseded a woman’s past. His mom had been a pagan prostitute who worshipped false gods. She abandoned her people and her gods to worship the one true God. This Boaz is her son!
And this is the man who Ruth happens to wander into his field.
Do you understand what I’m getting at?
When the author writes that Ruth “happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz,” we are supposed to hear a thick irony.
This is not happenstance!
God help us.
We are such products of our culture. If we don’t pause and think about it, we can be so quick to just glance right past this and think, “Wow! What a happy accident!”
We just see causes and effects and luck.
But stop. Consider God’s providence.
Stop thinking of things as random chances. Forget the entire category of luck. Reject the idea of karma.
And instead think this – God did that.
In his supernatural providence, God guides every moment of our lives
And so often we just look right past it. Do you know why?
Our next point is one of the biggest reasons.
In his supernatural providence, God
Often employs natural means to fulfill his promises and purposes.
God often employs natural means to fulfill his promises and purposes.
What does that mean?
Think of George Mueller. He ran an orphanage, but he never did any fundraising. He saw their work at that orphanage as a showcase for God’s glory in providing. He would make the needs of the orphanage known, and he would pray, but he never asked for a dollar. And you know what? They never missed a meal. And it wasn’t because the food just materialized. It was because people met the needs. They wrote checks and they donated food.
God uses natural means to fulfill his supernatural purposes.
This is all over our text. We already noted that it happened when Ruth wandered into Boaz’s field, but think about everything else we see in chapter 2.
Do you notice how mundane this all feels? Ruth and Naomi are hungry, so Ruth decides to go out to a field to glean in hopes of finding some food.
She ends up in Boaz’s field, and the lead servant notes that she works hard all day.
It reads as if it’s just narrating a normal day.
Then, Boaz realizes who Ruth is and he tells her that she can stay in his field all season and at the meal time, he gives her so much food that she takes home leftovers. And he gives secret directions to his harvesters to drop entire bundles of their harvest so that she can have an easier time gathering. And he gives other directions to all of the young men who work for him so that they can’t touch her. He is protecting her and providing for her.
And in verse 11, he tells her why. “All that you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband has been fully told to me, and how you left your father and mother and your native land and came to a people that you did not know before.”
He tells her why, but then he blesses her with a prayer. Look in verse 12. If you don’t have this underlined, you should underline it.
“The LORD repay you for what you have done, and a full reward be given you by the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge!”
He recognizes that Ruth has put all of her chips on the table. She is all in on the God of Israel.
Ruth has come to the Lord for refuge, and Boaz prays that the Lord would repay her according to her faith. And pay attention to this. He acts in a way that is consistent with his prayer.
It’s as if he is self consciously taking part in the blessing of God on this faithful woman.
He abundantly provides for her and gives her protection.
Why does he do this? Because he knows that God uses natural means to accomplish supernatural ends.
Think of the book of James. What does dead faith do? It says, “Go, be warmed and filled.” But it doesn’t give them any food or shelter.
Boaz is a man of faith because he responds to the fact that God uses natural means to accomplish supernatural ends. We’ll talk more about this in our next point, but for now, just ask yourself the question.
Do you see the world this way?
How often do we just ignore things like this?
Think of something as simple as tasting your food. During COVID, a lot of people realized that this was something that you can’t take that for granted. I’m pretty sure my dad can still mostly only taste pineapples and hot sauce. The pleasure that you experience when you bite into that thanksgiving pie – God did that.
Or another example, when we bought our house, the roof was a bit of a concern. We knew that it probably only had a couple of years left in it. And guess how long ago that was. That’s right, it was a couple of years ago. In August, American Fork had a really bad hail storm. And our roof had hail damage that tipped it over the edge. The hail made it so that on one particularly rainy day, we had to have mixing bowls set in several spots in the house to catch the water that was dripping through. But listen, because of that wind and hail damage, insurance is helping pay for almost the entire roof replacement when we might have had to pay for a replacement soon anyway..
God did that.
Have you considered that God works through insurance companies?
I needed new dress shoes, and my brother’s father in law gave him some shoes that my brother didn’t want, and now they are mine. God provided shoes for me.
God did that.
For ten years a dear brother in Tennessee has helped support our ministry in Utah because he has a rental property, and 10 years ago, God put it on his heart to take the profit from that property and help support this ministry in Utah.
God did that. God supplied the rental property. He controlled the economic conditions in that town to make it a great deal. God gave that brother the means to buy the rental property. God put the burden on his heart.
This isn’t chaos theory. This is God’s providence.
We could index every good gift that you have ever received, and we could trace it back, and in the vast majority of circumstances, it would look incredibly natural.
But here’s the question. Do you just take it for granted that this is how the world works? Do you think that you are entitled to it?
If you feel that sense of entitlement in your soul, then rebuke yourself.
Every good thing comes from God.
So why am I spending so much time on this? Because I want us to recognize that even in the seemingly mundane, God is working, so praise him.
When it happens, just say it. “Praise the Lord for such a good gift!”
I want you to be like Naomi is here.
In this text, isn’t Naomi so incredibly different from the despondent and bitter woman we saw last week? Something has changed. She is showing fruit of repentance because in this moment, hope is kindled in Naomi. She realizes that one of Elimelech’s redeemers cares about their situation.
The generosity of Boaz is so rich that Ruth goes home with between 50-70 pounds of barley. It’s incredible. You don’t get that from a normal day gleaning what the harvesters dropped.
And when Ruth gets home, Naomi sees this for what it is. She immediately knows that someone gave Ruth special treatment.
And when Ruth reveals that it was Boaz, Naomi breaks out in a blessing of her own. 2:20, “May he be blessed by the LORD, whose kindness has not forsaken the living or the dead!”
She goes from bitterness to blessing because of a bag of barley. Why? Naomi draws the line for us. It’s because his kindness hasn’t forsaken the living or the dead.
Through Boaz, God is providing for Naomi and Ruth, but Naomi sees greater purpose here. She sees a redeemer who has mercy on them.
Redeemers were close family members who were designated to restore things that were lost. It’s outlined in Leviticus 25 and a couple of other places. If a man were to sell his land out of dire necessity, the redeemer would help him buy the land back. If a man were sold into slavery, the redeemer had an obligation to pay for his freedom. It outlines specific circumstances, but the responsibilities extend beyond what is specifically listed there. And Naomi sees Boaz’s generosity as a sign from God that her family line could be redeemed.
Naomi could have seen this massive haul of grain and just seen it as a happy accident – a bright moment in what would continue to be a dismal life filled with bitterness. But she doesn’t do that.
She recognizes that God is working, and she bides her time.
And that brings us to our next point.
Therefore, pursue His will with godly zeal.
Pursue his will with godly zeal.
I want to show you where I see this in the text, but I want to make the connection between our two main points clear.
Why should you pursue God’s will with godly zeal? It is because God providentially guides every moment and he often employs natural means to accomplish supernatural ends. He uses natural means.
And as we saw with Boaz in chapter 2, people are included in those natural means. It may be that you are the means by which God will accomplish his will.
So lean into that! Pursue his will with godly zeal until it’s clear that you need to stop.
This is what we see in chapter three.
There are three main characters at this point of the story–Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz, and in chapter 3, we see all three of them doing this–pursuing God’s will with godly zeal.
They are pursuing God’s will by self consciously pursuing answers to prayer. We’ll look at each one in turn. In each case, they are pointing back to key moments in the narrative, and they are responding to it. Naomi and Ruth both respond to prayers that were said earlier in the story, and Boaz responds to something that should have been a prayer.
Let me show you what I mean. Think about Naomi.
Naomi
Naomi exhibits this pursuit of God’s will with godly zeal in the plan that she gives to Ruth.
After seeing God’s providence in chapter 2, Naomi makes a plan that has a clear motive.
She is seeking rest for Ruth.
Look in 3:1. “Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, “My daughter, should I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?”
When Naomi says “rest” here, she is using a very particular word. This is the word she used when she told Orpah and Ruth to go back to Moab. She prayed to God that he would grant rest to them. If you look back in 1:9 you’ll see it. “The LORD grant that you may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband.”
This rest isn’t just a state of relaxation. It’s a place. A resting place. A place of security. And the clear implication from our text is that this place will be found in marriage.
Naomi saw that God had opened Boaz’s heart to Ruth, and she saw that God was answering her prayer!
So she decides to help Ruth find the very peace that she prayed for in chapter 1. .
And she gives Ruth some interesting instructions. First, she tells her to take a bath and anoint herself. Interesting first step right. Singles, I hope you are taking notes on that. Bathing is important.
But really, this isn’t just about smelling good. This is a very particular regiment. In 2 Samuel, after King David’s child dies, it says that he did this same thing. He washed and anointed himself and he put on his outer garment. For David, that was a sign that he was finished with his season of mourning.
For Ruth, I think this means something similar. Since her husband died, she had probably been dressing in clothes that signified that she was a widow. Naomi was telling Ruth to present herself in a way that indicated that she was ready to move on.
Then Naomi gives some directions that feel even more strange. It’s the end of the harvest time, so she knows that Boaz is going to be winnowing the barley, and as men often did, he would sleep by the grain to make sure that no one stole it. Look at Naomi’s instructions in 3:4, “But when he lies down, observe the place where he lies. Then go and uncover his feet and lie down, and he will tell you what to do.”
And that brings us to Ruth
Ruth
Ruth actively pursues God’s will with godly zeal in a couple of ways. First, she humbly obeys her mother-in-law to the letter. She does exactly what Naomi directed her to do up until the moment when Boaz goes off script. Look at verse 8, “At midnight the man was startled and turned over, and behold, a woman lay at his feet! 9 He said, ‘who are you?’” Then he didn’t tell her what to do like Naomi said he would.
So Ruth improvised. Look in 3:9, “He said, “Who are you?” And she answered, “I am Ruth, your servant. Spread your wings over your servant, for you are a redeemer.”
Do you remember the blessing that Boaz gave Ruth back in 2:12? I told you to underline it. If you didn’t then, then do it now.
This is what he said, “The LORD repay you for what you have done, and a full reward be given you by the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge!”
And now here she is in the middle of the night telling him that he needs to spread his wings over her.
Ruth is in essence, calling Boaz to account. Did you really mean that prayer? Because as a redeemer, it’s your responsibility to make sure it happens.
This is bold, but it’s true. Ruth is pursuing an answer to Boaz’s prayer by telling Boaz to be the answer.
And there is another thing here about Ruth. She isn’t being purely self serving here. She isn’t just trying to get a husband at all costs.
She is seeking the redemption of Naomi’s name and household.
This is clear when we look at how Boaz responds to all of this.
Look at what he says in 3:10, “And he said, “May you be blessed by the LORD, my daughter. You have made this last kindness greater than the first in that you have not gone after young men, whether poor or rich.”
Now what is Boaz talking about? What does he mean by this last kindness? What was the first kindness? Because this is a conversation between Ruth and Boaz, it is easy to assume that Boaz is talking about Ruth being kind to himself – as if he is flattered that she would want to marry an old man instead of those younger men.
But’s that’s clearly not the case. He immediately knows that Ruth is here as a kindness to Naomi. She is there to help restore the line of Elimelech that was broken. Ruth is coming to Boaz because he is a redeemer.
That’s why it isn’t strange for Boaz to immediately say that she might need to marry someone else. He says that there is another redeemer who is closer than him. Look in verse 13, “Remain tonight, and in the morning, if he will redeem you, good; let him do it. But if he is not willing to redeem you, then, as the LORD lives, I will redeem you.”
Imagine if Courtney asked me to marry her, and my immediate response was to say, “Wow, you are so kind, but I need to go check with another guy. If he wants you, he can have you.”
That would be so, so wrong.
The way this interaction goes shows us that this isn’t about how wealthy or attractive Boaz is. It’s not that kind of love story. This is about restoring the line of Elimelech through the generosity of a kinsman redeemer.
Ruth is pursuing God’s will with godly zeal.
And that brings us to Boaz. How is Boaz doing this?
Boaz
Boaz pursues God’s will with godly zeal in the way that he interacts with Ruth, but even more clearly in the guarantee that he gives.
For one, this entire interaction with Ruth could have gone so differently. He could have turned her away. He could have committed an immoral act. But Boaz was a worthy man, so he maintains purity and even guards Ruth’s reputation by instructing others to remain quiet about her visit. .
Then just as she is about to leave, this happens. Look in verse 15. “And he said, “Bring the garment you are wearing and hold it out.” So she held it, and he measured out six measures of barley and put it on her. Then she went into the city. 16 And when she came to her mother-in-law, she said, “How did you fare, my daughter?” Then she told her all that the man had done for her, 17 saying, “These six measures of barley he gave to me, for he said to me, ‘You must not go back empty-handed to your mother-in-law.’”
When Boaz said this to Ruth, he was making a promise.
When he said, “you must not go back empty-handed,” he was referring to the moment when Naomi first entered town.
Back in 1:20, Naomi said, “Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. 21 I went away full, and the Lord has brought me back empty.”
Naomi was complaining about God, when she should have been complaining too God, but nonetheless, God is responding.
That word empty is the exact same phrase that Boaz uses in chapter 3. You must not go back to your mother in law empty handed. It’s translates slightly differently because the english would feel a bit awkward, but it’s the exact same Hebrew word.
Boaz sent her with six measures of barley as a personal guarantee. There will be a seventh.
“You came back empty, but the Lord will make you full again.”
That’s why Naomi has such confidence at the end of the chapter.
In 3:18 she says, “Wait, my daughter, until you learn how the matter turns out, for the man will not rest but will settle the matter today.”
Wait with confidence, because he won’t rest until your rest is secured.
So in light of these things, I want to take a brief moment for some specific application, then I want to zoom out and consider how this pulls our attention to the gospel.
In light of these things, just consider your prayer life.
How often do you pray to God about something, and then you just leave it? We can hyper-spiritualize our prayers to the point that we just assume that God doesn’t have anything for us to do. We assume that an answer will just materialize from somewhere else. And God may do that, but do you just rush past how God might plan to use you in the answer?
Maybe you have prayed for God to provide for someone. Do you have the means to meet that need?
Maybe you prayed for someone to not be lonely. Do you have time to spend with them instead of watching a screen?
Maybe you prayed that someone would be encouraged. Have you considered how you might encourage them?
God often uses natural means to accomplish his promises and purposes.
Now consider the gospel. Zoom out from our discussion on providence and consider how the actions and character of Boaz scream out for us to consider Christ.
This man who was entirely self-sufficient has mercy on a foreigner who isn’t part of him. He sets his favor on a woman who was poor and destitute. She had no power. She had nothing to offer, but when she lays at his feet with a plea to be united to him, he responds with a guarantee that she will find lasting rest and security. And then she is called to wait with confidence for the fulfillment of that rest.
Doesn’t this sound familiar? Isn’t this the promise of the gospel?
You who were separated and far off are promised rest because Christ binds you to Himself.
If you don’t know Jesus today, then take up the humility and boldness of Ruth. Jesus has already done the work of redemption. All that is left is for you to do is what Ruth did. Abandon all else and come under his wings for refuge.
And under his wings, you will find rest and peace.
Let’s pray.
