As we close out the first chapter of Ruth today, we start to see the book of Ruth showing more and more God’s bigger story of Redemption. Last week, we began to go deeper into the theology that God is sovereign, good, and kind; He keeps His word no matter what! Before we get to the next part of Ruth, we must first understand that all of Ruth’s history is a redemptive love story.
Ruth is a book providence and redemption. In one sense all of the Bible is about God’s providence and Redemption, but it is very strongly pronounced in Ruth; it is one of the reasons we are calling the series “The Story Within the Story.” All of our stories find meaning and hope within God’s larger story of us. Providence simply means God’s care and guidance over His creation, but when it comes to our lives we should have an understanding that He knows all that has been done to us and all that we have done…and that He can make things work out for His glory and our ultimate joy.
