Well, good morning. Our text for today is Ruth chapter 2. So let me invite you to join me there. Ruth chapter 2. Mark that spot and then go to Matthew chapter 6.
0:15
So Ruth chapter 2 is our text for today, but I want you to join me in Matthew chapter 6. Today we have the opportunity to consider the second act in the story of Naomi and Ruth.
0:29
Verse 1 of chapter 2 introduces the final human character in this drama, a man named Boaz. So we have Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz.
0:41
We will observe today the character quality of both Ruth and Boaz, but we need not lose sight that the major player in this narrative is God himself, as in all biblical narratives.
0:56
Recall I made the case to you last week that the primary work of the author of this book is to display God's sovereign goodness, his providential care for his people in the lives of these three characters.
1:14
Chapter 1 and verse 1 sets the stage for the book of Ruth. There it says,
1:20
In the days when the judges ruled. This is an unsettled time in Israel's history.
1:29
Widespread uncertainty, rebellion against God's good commands, power grabs and abuses.
1:36
Here, though, in the book of Ruth, we zoom in and can and should appreciate God's loving kindness to these two widows and to their kinsman redeemer.
1:51
When Naomi and Ruth arrive in Bethlehem, mere survival is on their minds. Without husbands or sons, they have no real mean for provision.
2:02
The narrator sets the scene for chapter 2 with God's providence provision in mind at the end of chapter 1.
2:11
There he writes in verse 22 of chapter 1,
2:15
And they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.
2:22
How are they to be provided for?
2:25
Well, we get a clue here.
2:27
God has orchestrated their arrival at a time of plenty, and he has a plan for their provision.
2:37
This chapter is a wonderful, real-life display of the instruction that Jesus gives recorded in Matthew 6, beginning in verse 25.
2:49
I referenced this briefly last week.
2:52
There he says,
3:52
What shall we drink?
3:53
What shall we wear?
3:56
For the Gentiles seek after these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
4:01
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
4:09
Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.
4:15
Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
4:19
God has promised to provide, and he does so providentially.
4:28
Providence is God's provide-ence.
4:34
Charles Spurgeon, the first part of this quotation is on the back of your bulletin, once wrote this,
4:40
All things live and move in him, and have their being, nor could they live or move otherwise, for God hath so ordained them.
4:52
I hear one say,
4:53
Well, sir, you seem to be a fatalist.
4:56
No, far from it.
4:59
There is just this difference between fate and providence.
5:03
Fate is blind.
5:06
Providence has eyes.
5:08
And then he goes on.
5:11
Fate is blind, a thing that must be.
5:13
It is just an arrow shot from a bow that must fly onward, but hath no target.
5:20
Not so providence.
5:22
Providence is full of eyes.
5:25
There is a design in everything, and an end to be answered.
5:30
All things are working together, and working together for good.
5:34
They are not done because they must be done, but they are done because there is some reason for it.
5:42
It is not only that the thing is because it must be, but the thing is because it is right it should be.
5:49
God hath not arbitrarily marked out the world's history.
5:54
He had an eye to the great architecture of perfection when he marked all the aisles of history and placed all the pillars of events in the building of time.
6:07
Isn't that good?
6:09
Purposeful.
6:10
Purposeful.
6:11
Sovereignty.
6:13
And this included all of that planning, the minutia of our daily bread.
6:20
And so, we have no need, as God's people, to be anxious for anything.
6:29
So let's look at the birds of the air and consider the lilies of the field and think about the lives of Naomi and Ruth and Boaz.
6:41
Ruth chapter 2.
6:43
Before I read, beginning in verse 1, I'd like to remind you, beloved, that this is God's word to us,
6:47
written for his glory and our good, and so we would all do well to listen to it in order to believe its promises and to obey its commands.
6:58
Ruth 2.
7:00
Now Naomi had a relative of her husband's, a worthy man of the clan of Elimelech, whose name was Boaz.
7:08
And Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi,
7:11
Let me go to the field and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight I shall find favor.
7:17
And she said to her,
7:19
Go, my daughter.
7:21
So she set out and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers.
7:24
And she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the clan of Elimelech.
7:30
And behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem.
7:33
And he said to the reapers,
7:35
The Lord be with you.
7:36
And they answered,
7:37
The Lord bless you.
7:39
Then Boaz said to a young man who was in charge of the reapers,
7:42
Whose young woman is this?
7:44
And the servant who was in charge of the reapers answered,
7:47
She is the young Moabite woman who came back with Naomi from the country of Moab.
7:54
She said,
7:55
Please let me glean and gather among the sheaves after the reapers.
7:58
So she came,
8:00
And she has continued from early morning until now,
8:02
Except for a short rest.
8:05
Then Boaz said to Ruth,
8:07
Now listen, my daughter.
8:09
Do not go to glean in another field or leave this one,
8:12
But keep close to my young women.
8:14
Let your eyes be on the field that they are reaping,
8:17
And go after them.
8:18
Have I not charged the young men not to touch you?
8:21
And when you are thirsty,
8:22
Go to the vessels and drink what the young men have drawn.
8:25
Then she fell on her face,
8:28
Bowing to the ground,
8:29
And said to him,
8:31
Why have I found favor in your eyes that you should take notice of me,
8:34
Since I am a foreigner?
8:36
But Boaz answered her,
8:38
All that you have done for your mother-in-law
8:40
Since the death of your husband has been fully told to me,
8:43
And how you left your father and mother and your native land
8:46
And came to a people that you did not know before.
8:49
The Lord repay you for what you have done,
8:51
And a full reward be given you by the Lord,
8:54
The God of Israel,
8:56
Under whose wings you have come to take refuge.
8:59
Then she said,
9:01
I have found favor in your eyes, my Lord,
9:03
For you have comforted me and spoken kindly to your servant,
9:06
Though I am not one of your servants.
9:09
And at mealtime Boaz said to her,
9:11
Come here and eat some bread,
9:13
And dip your morsel in the wine.
9:15
So she sat beside the reapers,
9:17
And he passed to her roasted grain,
9:19
And she ate until she was satisfied,
9:21
And she had some left over.
9:22
When she rose to glean,
9:24
Boaz instructed his young men,
9:26
Saying,
9:27
Let her glean even among the sheaves,
9:29
And do not reproach her.
9:31
And also pull out some from the bundles for her,
9:33
And leave it for her to glean,
9:35
And do not rebuke her.
9:37
So she gleaned in the field until evening.
9:40
Then she beat out what she had gleaned,
9:42
And it was about an ephah of barley.
9:44
And she took it up and went into the city.
9:47
Her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned.
9:49
She also brought out and gave what food she had left over,
9:53
After being satisfied.
9:55
And her mother-in-law said to her,
9:57
Where did you glean today?
9:58
And where have you worked?
10:00
Blessed be the man who took notice of you.
10:03
So she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked,
10:05
And said,
10:06
The man's name with whom I work today is Boaz.
10:10
And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law,
10:12
May he be blessed by the Lord,
10:14
Whose kindness has not forsaken the living or the dead.
10:18
Naomi also said to her,
10:20
The man is a close relative of ours,
10:21
One of our redeemers.
10:24
And Ruth the Moabite said,
10:26
Besides, he said to me,
10:27
You shall keep close by my young men
10:29
Until they have finished all my harness.
10:32
And Naomi said to Ruth, her daughter-in-law,
10:35
It is good, my daughter,
10:36
That you go out with his young women,
10:38
Lest in another field you be assaulted.
10:40
So she kept close to the young women of Boaz,
10:43
Gleaning until the end of the barley and wheat harvest.
10:46
And she lived with her mother-in-law.
10:49
So the second act of this story
10:52
Displays God's providential provision
10:55
For the needs of his people.
10:58
But it's also important for us to note
11:00
That this providential provision
11:02
Works in congruence with human agency.
11:07
God does not separate the ends from the means.
11:12
So with God's sovereign grace in mind,
11:16
Let's also note the activity of the human players
11:19
In this chapter in the following brief outline.
11:23
Number one, we'll consider Ruth's diligent labor.
11:27
Secondly, Boaz's lavish generosity.
11:31
And thirdly, and very briefly,
11:34
Naomi's increased faith.
11:37
So look firstly at Ruth's diligent labor.
11:41
The narrator makes it evident
11:43
That Ruth does not wait for some solution
11:45
To fall into her lap,
11:47
But she is likely familiar with Jewish laws,
11:51
Which we'll speak about a bit more in a moment.
11:54
And so she asks permission of her mother-in-law,
11:56
Of Naomi,
11:57
To glean from the barley harvest.
12:00
And we see that there in verse 2.
12:03
Let me go to the field and glean among the ears of grain
12:06
After him in whose sight I shall find favor.
12:10
So those things that were not picked up
12:12
In the process of harvesting,
12:14
That were dropped along the way,
12:16
She was allowed to go and pick up
12:19
After those harvesters.
12:21
Now, there doesn't seem to be a distinction of fields
12:26
In the narrator's mind,
12:27
Which I just thought was interesting,
12:29
But simply a field.
12:31
So she goes out to glean,
12:32
Verse 3 says,
12:33
In the field,
12:35
After the reapers,
12:37
Which seems to be a bit like saying
12:40
She gleaned in the countryside.
12:43
Nevertheless,
12:44
There is a distinction,
12:45
And Boaz makes a distinction about his field.
12:48
But here there's a distinction
12:49
That at least a part of the field
12:51
Belongs to him.
12:54
And we see that at the end of verse 3.
12:56
She happened to come
12:58
To the part of the field belonging to Boaz.
13:01
And then this repetition of who he is
13:04
Of the clan of Elimelech.
13:06
The inclusion of the word happened
13:10
Is not meant to make us think of this
13:13
As an accident.
13:15
It's kind of how I read it in English, right?
13:17
She accidentally,
13:18
She stumbled upon this part of the land
13:21
That belonged to Boaz.
13:23
But recall that Boaz
13:25
Has already been introduced
13:27
At the beginning of the chapter.
13:30
And to the Jewish reader
13:32
Introduced as a possible redeemer,
13:35
Which we're going to spend a lot of time on
13:36
In the coming weeks.
13:39
He may be able,
13:40
He possibly has the power
13:42
To fix all of Naomi and Ruth's problems.
13:46
So he's been introduced in that way.
13:49
And so it is no accident
13:50
That Ruth arrived in the part of the field
13:54
Belonging to Boaz.
13:57
The narrator then tells us
13:59
That Boaz arrives at the field
14:02
And asks who Ruth is.
14:06
In verse 6,
14:07
The servant who's in charge of the reapers
14:09
Answered,
14:11
She is the young Moabite woman
14:12
Who came back with Naomi
14:14
From the country of Moab.
14:17
We talked at length about this
14:18
In chapter 1.
14:19
If you're here for the first time
14:20
And unfamiliar,
14:21
I would encourage you to go read
14:22
Chapter 1.
14:24
So,
14:26
She comes in verse 7
14:28
And says,
14:29
Please let me glean
14:30
And gather among the sheaves
14:32
After the reapers.
14:35
There's some debate about verse 7.
14:40
The servant says,
14:41
She came and she has continued
14:42
From early morning until now
14:44
Except for a short rest.
14:48
Either,
14:50
Ruth has been gleaning this whole time.
14:52
She came early in the morning.
14:55
The assumption on my part
14:56
Is that Boaz is not out late in the day
14:58
But he's come out sometime in the morning.
15:01
So she's been there early
15:03
And she's been gleaning the whole time
15:04
Except for a short rest.
15:07
Or,
15:08
When she comes to this portion of the field
15:10
She has asked permission to glean,
15:14
We see,
15:15
But she's been asking the permission
15:17
Persistently.
15:19
Perhaps she's arrived at this
15:20
Edge of the field
15:22
Where this activity is going on
15:23
And she doesn't think she has the right
15:25
As a foreigner
15:27
To step onto this land
15:28
And to glean
15:29
And so she's been asking to glean
15:31
And she's been asking
15:32
And asking and asking
15:33
It almost seems like the servant is saying
15:35
She's been asking
15:36
Except for a little while
15:37
She stopped asking
15:38
But she's still been asking.
15:42
Now,
15:42
Either way,
15:43
Whichever way you want to read it
15:44
And again,
15:45
It's kind of down the middle
15:46
People think one way or the other.
15:48
Either way though,
15:49
She has been working.
15:51
And she's been working hard
15:54
To make provision for her
15:56
And for Naomi.
15:59
She's been at it.
16:00
She's been out there
16:01
Trying to get this provision
16:03
Pulled together.
16:05
And this point is reinforced
16:06
By the record of verse 17.
16:10
There it says,
16:11
So she gleaned in the field
16:13
Until evening.
16:16
There's this great generosity
16:18
On Boaz's part,
16:19
But it's not without her work.
16:21
She continues to work
16:22
Throughout the day
16:24
And into the evening.
16:26
And then we see that she
16:28
Beats out what she had gleaned
16:30
And it was about an ephah
16:32
Of barley.
16:35
And once again,
16:35
There's a disagreement here
16:37
On how much exactly
16:39
An ephah was.
16:41
Some say it would have been
16:42
Six gallons in total.
16:45
Others say ten gallons.
16:49
The former would have
16:50
Either way,
16:52
In response to the generosity
16:54
Of Boaz,
16:55
Ruth still did
16:57
A lot of work.
16:59
Every bit of this
17:02
Had to be picked up
17:03
And carried
17:05
And processed.
17:08
There were no tractors.
17:10
There was any kind of
17:11
Implements being used.
17:12
It wouldn't have been used
17:13
By her.
17:14
This was all
17:15
Labor done
17:16
By her
17:17
Hands.
17:19
Ruth's persistent labor
17:21
Serves as an example
17:23
For us to be diligent
17:25
In the work that God
17:26
Has placed
17:27
Before us.
17:28
And we all
17:29
Have some
17:30
Task
17:31
To be faithful in.
17:33
Whether we are
17:34
Crunching numbers
17:35
Or
17:35
Manipulating spreadsheets
17:37
Or
17:37
Building houses
17:38
Or
17:39
Studying
17:40
Textbooks
17:41
Raising children
17:43
Educating them
17:44
Wiping their
17:45
Noses
17:46
Or
17:47
Shepherding
17:48
Souls
17:48
All should be done
17:50
With great
17:51
Diligence.
17:53
She's just a beautiful
17:53
Picture
17:54
Of that.
17:55
From early morning
17:56
Until late
17:57
In the evening
17:59
As a response
18:00
To this
18:00
Generosity.
18:03
And we are not
18:04
To be diligent
18:04
Just for our own
18:06
Sake
18:07
But also
18:08
For the sake
18:09
Of others.
18:11
Normatively
18:12
Not always
18:13
But normatively
18:14
Hard work
18:15
Is rewarded.
18:17
We want to
18:18
Teach our children
18:19
This.
18:20
There's reward
18:21
To good
18:22
Steady
18:23
Labor.
18:23
The author
18:25
Of the Proverbs
18:25
Speaks to this
18:26
Very end.
18:28
The goal
18:29
Though
18:29
Of that
18:29
Reward
18:30
Ought
18:31
To be
18:32
The good
18:33
Of others.
18:35
Listen to Paul's
18:36
Exhortation
18:36
In Ephesians
18:37
Chapter 4
18:38
In verse
18:39
28.
18:41
There he says
18:41
Let the thief
18:43
No longer
18:44
Steal.
18:46
And
18:46
What's often
18:47
Written about
18:47
This text
18:48
That he's
18:49
Addressing
18:50
Those who
18:50
Weren't
18:51
Contributing
18:51
To the life
18:52
Of the church
18:52
But were
18:52
Taking from
18:53
It.
18:54
They weren't
18:54
Working but
18:55
They were
18:55
Receiving the
18:56
Generosity
18:56
Of the church.
18:58
He says
18:58
Let the thief
18:59
No longer
19:00
Steal but
19:00
Rather
19:01
Let him
19:02
Labor
19:02
Doing honest
19:04
Work with
19:05
His own
19:05
Hands.
19:07
The implication
19:07
There is for
19:08
His own
19:09
Provision.
19:10
But Paul
19:10
Goes on
19:11
So that
19:12
He may have
19:13
Something to
19:14
Share
19:14
With anyone
19:16
In need.
19:18
I think
19:18
That's just
19:19
Astounding.
19:20
The goal
19:21
Of the
19:21
Reward of
19:21
Labor
19:22
Not being
19:22
Just
19:23
Example of
19:24
Diligent
19:24
Work on
19:25
Ruth's
19:26
Part.
19:26
It's the
19:27
Human agency
19:28
That plays
19:29
Into God's
19:30
Provision
19:31
For her.
19:32
And then
19:32
We get to
19:33
See Boaz
19:34
As a
19:34
Wonderful
19:35
Example
19:36
Of generosity
19:37
To those
19:38
In need.
19:40
So one
19:41
Who also
19:41
Is laboring
19:42
Not in
19:43
The same
19:44
Measure.
19:44
He's now
19:45
Managing
19:45
A field
19:46
Of
19:47
Reapers
19:48
But he's
19:48
Doing
19:49
This
19:49
And serving
19:51
Others
19:52
In
19:52
The process
19:54
Let's look
19:54
Secondly
19:55
At Boaz's
19:57
Lavish
19:58
Generosity
19:59
Before we
20:01
Consider Boaz's
20:02
Generosity
20:03
Let's just
20:03
Take a
20:04
Moment to
20:04
Consider
20:05
Boaz
20:06
The man
20:07
Once again
20:09
We see that
20:10
Introduction
20:10
In chapter
20:11
Two
20:11
And verse
20:12
One
20:12
That Naomi
20:14
That Naomi
20:14
Had a
20:14
Relative
20:15
Of her
20:15
Husband's
20:16
A worthy
20:17
Man
20:17
Of the
20:18
Clan
20:18
Of Elimelech
20:19
Whose name
20:19
Was Boaz
20:21
There are
20:23
Three observations
20:24
Concerning
20:25
Boaz
20:26
Here
20:26
The first
20:28
And the
20:29
Third
20:29
Hint at
20:31
A potential
20:31
Family
20:32
Obligation
20:32
To Naomi
20:33
And the
20:34
Second
20:35
That he
20:35
Is a
20:36
Worthy
20:36
Man
20:37
Suggests
20:38
That he
20:38
Has the
20:39
Character
20:40
And ability
20:41
To fulfill
20:42
That obligation
20:44
He's worthy
20:46
For this
20:46
Task
20:47
To be used
20:48
By God
20:49
To provide
20:49
For Naomi
20:50
And for Ruth
20:51
This idea
20:53
Develops
20:53
Further
20:54
In verse
20:56
Four
20:57
Here we see
20:58
Boaz comes
20:59
From Bethlehem
21:00
He comes
21:02
From the city
21:02
Center
21:02
Where he
21:03
Would have
21:03
Lived
21:03
And he
21:03
Comes out
21:04
To his
21:04
Field
21:05
And he
21:06
Says
21:06
To the
21:06
Reapers
21:07
To his
21:07
Employees
21:08
The Lord
21:09
Be with
21:09
You
21:09
And they
21:10
Answer
21:11
The Lord
21:12
Blessed
21:12
God
21:12
Has granted
21:13
To him
21:13
And I
21:15
Believe the
21:15
Narrator
21:16
Includes
21:16
The greetings
21:17
Of verse
21:18
Four
21:18
To show
21:18
Us
21:19
That Boaz
21:20
Wishes
21:21
Good for
21:21
His workers
21:22
And they
21:23
For him
21:23
By placing
21:25
God
21:25
At the
21:25
Center
21:26
Of their
21:27
Interactions
21:28
It's a
21:29
Very tiny
21:30
But very
21:30
Encouraging
21:31
Literal
21:32
Interaction
21:33
For those
21:34
Who have
21:34
Employees
21:35
Under them
21:35
And for
21:35
Those who
21:36
Are
21:36
Employees
21:37
The Lord
21:38
Be with
21:38
You
21:38
And the
21:39
Answer
21:39
The Lord
21:40
Bless
21:41
You
21:43
I think this
21:44
One little
21:44
Verse gives
21:45
Us some
21:45
Picture of
21:46
Boaz's
21:46
Quality
21:48
As a
21:49
Manager
21:49
Those employees
21:50
Felt something
21:52
Of him
21:53
And for
21:54
Him
21:55
Remember
21:57
This is taking
21:58
Place in the
21:59
Days when the
22:00
Judges
22:01
Ruled
22:02
And the
22:03
Days when the
22:04
Judges
22:04
Ruled

22:07
Tells
22:07
Us
22:07
Everyone
22:08
Did
22:09
What
22:09
Was
22:09
Right
22:10
In
22:11
His
22:11
Own
22:11
Eyes
22:12
A
22:13
Big
22:14
General
22:15
Statement
22:16
Because it
22:17
Doesn't
22:17
Seem to
22:17
Be
22:18
So
22:18
With
22:19
Boaz
22:20
Boaz
22:22
Observes
22:23
A woman
22:23
In
22:24
His
22:24
Portion
22:25
Of
22:25
The
22:25
Field
22:25
And
22:26
He
22:26
Obeys
22:27
God's
22:28
Commands
22:29
Concerning

Apply

Him

But
27:45
But

That
31:19
One
31:20
Of
31:20
My
31:20
Great
31:21
Concerns
31:21
About
31:22
American
31:23
Christianity
31:23
Is
31:24
How

Self
31:25
Oriented

31:31
Get
31:31
Out
31:32
Of

The
31:33
Church
31:33
And
31:34
You
31:35
Could
31:35
Be
31:35
A
31:35
Consumer
31:35
Of
31:36
Good
31:36

31:37
Things

31:41
You

31:43
When

So
32:09
Receiving

32:42
From

An

34:24
Seems
34:24

An

Expression
34:25
Of
34:25

In

Her
35:14
Two
35:14
Sons
35:15
Was
35:15
Not
35:15
A
35:16
Great
35:16
Tragedy
35:17
In
35:18
Her
35:18
Life
35:18
But
35:20
We
35:20
Are
35:20
Now
35:21
Ten
35:22
Years
35:22
On
35:23
From
35:24
The
35:24
Loss
35:24
Of
35:24
Her
35:25
Boys
35:25
And
35:26
She
35:26
Has
35:27
Returned
35:27
Back
35:28
To
35:29
Bethlehem
35:29
In
35:30
A
35:30
Time
35:30
Of
35:31
Plenty
35:31
There
35:31
Is
35:31
This
35:32
Potential
35:32
To
35:33
Be
35:33
Redeemed
35:34
In
35:34
This
35:34
Place
35:35
And
35:37
She
35:37
Would
35:37
Rather
35:37
To
35:37
Be
35:37
Called
35:38
Bitter
35:39
Than
35:40
Pleasant
35:41
And
35:41
Her
35:41
Faith
35:42
Just
35:42
Seems
35:43
To
35:43
Be
35:43
So
35:43
Thin
35:44
At
35:45
This
35:45
Point
35:45
In
35:46
The
35:46
Narrative
35:47
She
35:48
Seems
35:56
Naomi
35:57
But
35:59
Then
35:59
We
35:59
See

In
35:59

She
36:06
Hears
36:07
Who
36:07
Gave
36:08
It
36:08
To
36:08
Her
36:08
Boaz
36:09
And

36:17
Boaz
36:17
Be
36:17
Blessed
36:18
By

The

Lord
36:19
Whose
36:20
Kindness
36:20
Has
36:21
Not
36:21
Forsaken
36:21
The
36:22
Living
36:22
Or
36:23
The
36:24
Dead
36:24
There
36:25
Is
36:25
Some
36:26
Uncertainty
36:26
Here
36:26
About
36:26
Whether
36:27
Naomi
36:27
Is
36:27
Saying
36:28
That
36:28
Boaz
36:28
Kindness
36:29
Has
36:29
Not
36:29

Kindness
36:32
Has
36:32
Not
36:33
Forsaken
36:34
Them
36:34
But
36:35
Either
36:35
Way
36:36
She
36:36
Sees
36:37
This
36:37
Provision
36:38
As
36:39
Coming
36:39
From
36:40
God

As
36:44
A

Result
36:45
Of
36:46
It
36:46
We
36:47
See
36:47
This
36:47
Little
36:47
Hint
36:48
Of
36:48
Naomi's
36:48
Increased
36:50
Faith
36:50
And
36:50
It
36:51
Is
36:51
A

Result
36:51
Of
36:53
Ruth's
