“And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.” - Ruth 2v3
Nothing ever just “happens” with God. As Ruth went out into the field we read that she happened to come into Boaz’ field. It just so “happens” that Boaz was a man of godly devotion who greeted his workers with, “The Lord be with you,” and whose workers replied, “The Lord bless you.”
It just so happened that Boaz was a generous man who instructed his men to leave extra in the fields for Ruth and Naomi, the leave them handfuls in purpose. It just so happened that Boaz qualified as a near kinsman who could redeem Ruth and marry her.
God was in absolute control the whole time. He knew exactly what He was doing. Things don’t just happen when God is in control. It was not just a coincidence that Ruth went to this field. It was all part of God’s plan.
