Lesson 4: Redemption of our Past (Ruth 2:1-8a)
Questions 1, 2 and 3
“Now Naomi had a relative on her husband’s side, a man of standing from the clan of Elimelek, whose name was Boaz. 2 And Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, “Let me go to the fields and pick up the leftover grain behind anyone in whose eyes I find favor.” Naomi said to her, “Go ahead, my daughter.” 3 So she went out, entered a field, and began to glean behind the harvesters. As it turned out, she was working in a field belonging to Boaz, who was from the clan of Elimelek. 4 Just then Boaz arrived from Bethlehem and greeted the harvesters, “The Lord be with you!” “The Lord bless you!” they answered. 5 Boaz asked the overseer of his harvesters, “Who does that young woman belong to?” 6 The overseer replied, “She is the Moabite who came back from Moab with Naomi. 7 She said, ‘Please let me glean and gather among the sheaves behind the harvesters.’ She came into the field and has remained here from morning till now, except for a short rest in the shelter.” 8 So Boaz said to Ruth, “My daughter,” Ruth 1:1-8a NIV

Question 3: We read that Ruth’s circumstances changed because of unexpected favor and grace: “As it turned out, she was working in a field belonging to Boaz, who was from the clan of Elimelek” (Ruth 2:3 NIV). What is the biblical meaning behind the phrase: “As it turned out” (5:35 mark in the video) Ruth worked hard to obtain favor God works all things out together for our good Things just happen like that
