Ruth: A Story of God's Kindness

By Miranda K Shisler

A well-known love story from the pages of the Old Testament through the eyes of two of the characters: Naomi and Boaz. Naomi went with her husband and sons to the land of Moab to find food during a famine. She is returning to Bethlehem ten years later, empty-handed and despairing. All she has to show for her time away is a young, widowed daughter-in-law, who has left her entire life behind to follow Naomi home. Boaz is the confirmed bachelor of Bethlehem, though he is a successful farmer and respected elder. Nothing could prepare him for the arrival of Ruth, Naomi's daughter-in-law, when she asks to glean in his fields so that they might have something to eat. He blesses the hard-working, unassuming young woman, asking for her to find refuge in the shelter of the Almighty. How could he know that Yahweh's intentions will be for him to be the very embodiment of his request? For no one but Naomi has remembered that Boaz is their kinsman-redeemer. See the kindness of God as he weaves together the story of Boaz and Ruth, not only to give Boaz a family, to give Ruth a second chance in a new land, and to give Naomi a full life instead of emptiness, but in the larger perspective, to show his kindness to the entirety of humanity.
