So she went out, entered a field, and began to glean behind the harvesters. As it turned out, she was working in the field belonging to Boaz, who was from the clan of Amalek. Just as Boaz arrived from Bethlehem and greeted the harvesters, "'The Lord be with you. The Lord bless you,' they answered. Boaz asked the overseer of his harvesters, Who is that? Who does that young woman belong to?

OK, we're going to pause right here and then we're going to go into the rest of the story. So Ruth said that she was going to go glean into a field because she needed to gain food, obviously, for her and her household, which is her and Naomi and only them only. And so because Ruth is of the lowest of the low, again, widowed and childless, that means that she was only able to receive so little.

And what it means to glean is that basically there were farmers who were hosting the and harvesting all of these crops to where it was a Levitical law for them to leave certain harvest behind or if they dropped any on the floor for them to leave it so the poor could come after they had harvest everything to then pick it up and feed their families.

And this is stated in Leviticus 19, 19 through 20. It commands farmers in Israel that they should not completely harvest their fields. They were called to leave some harvest behind. Whatever they dropped on the floor was for those who they gleaned. And so Ruth going to a field that just so happened to be Boaz's wasn't just a coincidence. It was the work done.

of god and so sometimes we're in tragic situations and we're looking on how we could you know move forward and see a positive outlook and god will start putting us in situations to where we don't know it at the time but it actually is him and so this field that ruth was gleaning and she didn't know at the time that that this man boaz god was going to use him to grant great favor

And so I think it even shows us Ruth's attitude towards her going and working too, because Ruth could have sat and moped and groaned all day about what to do next. But we see the attitude of Ruth. We see that the attitude of Ruth wasn't to just sit around and... complain or to be wearied by her state of mind, but instead she got up and she worked.

And I think sometimes when we're in seasons that are very desolate and we're coming out of, you know, we just sinned against God and we're an enemy to him because of we may have fallen short or fallen behind and we're not pursuing the things of God and we're looking to be reconciled back into his heart.

It's almost like sometimes we think that we have to have this super spiritual encounter in order to start being obedient or to pursue the things of God. When in this instance, Ruth just got up and went. And I think sometimes we could fail to do things for God when we just sit around and we're waiting for all day for something that he has called and ordained for us to go up and just do.

And so Ruth, she had the heart to just get up and go. She knew she was in a new land. She knew there was work that needed to be done and God was going to partner with her faithfulness. And so we get to the next part of the story where I say, I left it off to where Boaz said that he saw Ruth and he said, who is that young woman? Who does she belong to?

And the overseer replied, she is the Moabite who came back from Moab with Naomi. She said, please let me glean and gather among the sheaves behind the harvesters. She came into the fields and has remained here from morning till now, except for a short rest in the shelter. So Boaz said to Ruth, My daughter, listen to me. Do not glean in another field. Do not go away from here.
