The story of Ruth comes to us in the time of the Judges. It is not difficult to imagine Elimelech and his family being sent to Moab while Israel was in a time of punishment for doing evil in the sight of God. It is not difficult to imagine the family met Judge Ehud when he went to Moab to kill the king. When we think on these events, are you awed at the intricate weaving of God's plan? I certainly am.
Boaz and Ruth are a generation after the fall of Jericho and two generations before the birth of King David. Their story is not rife with war, but it is still an incredible depiction of the love God has for all of us.
My name is Ruth. I am a woman of Moab. I know you've heard of me. I'm a stranger who gets to play a part in the greatest love story of all. Truth is, my story has love written all over it, which is weird, since I didn't know love until a wagon of foreigners built a house not far from where we lived.
Listen to my story. Decide for yourself. It is no easy thing to fall into the hands of a fearful God without a willing heart.
