Can one person's choice shape generations? The story of Ruth, Christian Questions, Moments that Matt

Ruth was a Moabite woman who married the son of Naomi, a Jewish woman who had moved with her family to the idolatrous country of Moab to avoid a famine. Several years after Ruth married one of their sons, tragedy struck as Naomi’s husband and both of her sons died.

Naomi then returned to Bethlehem and Ruth insisted on going with her. Ruth’s declaration—“Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God”—marks the depth of Ruth’s dedication and it echoes the call to follow Christ.

Naomi’s selflessness and Ruth’s humility set the stage for God’s providential leading. Ruth’s “chance” decision to support them by gleaning in the field of a godly and wealthy man named Boaz, revealed God’s guiding hand.

Some quick points about the story’s three main characters:

- Ruth’s loyalty and humility positioned her to receive God’s abundant blessings.
- Naomi’s wise and selfless guidance allowed Ruth to make a free, faith-driven choice.
- Boaz’s integrity and generosity reflected Christlike leadership and compassion.
