Scripture:
Ruth 3
Abstract/Summary:
Naomi waits until the end of the harvest. Her quest, that she might “find rest” (Hebrew of 3:1) for Ruth. But despite a careful plan, and Boaz’s consent to the proposal, there is a risk: another kinsman-redeemer with a stronger claim. Naomi, Ruth and Boaz have to wait.
Naomi, as we all do, is looking for rest: for security amidst a risky and uncertain world. How do we balance the need to make plans and act with waiting and trusting God?
