Ruth 3

Ruth 3 illustrates that balance between taking action and waiting on God. 

We have seen Naomi transform from bitterness due to focus on SELF and her circumstances in Chp 1, to having hope and seeing GOD's blessings in Chp 2, and now to looking to help OTHERS, namely Ruth, in Chp 3.  

So, Ruth steps out in faith, and takes action to make known to Boaz that she is available to be redeemed in Levirate marriage.  But, the last verse leaves her in God's WAITING ROOM, to see which direction the curve ball in the game plan will turn, as Boaz goes to talk to the other closer kinsman-redeemer.

Overall, Ruth's and Boaz's godly and noble characters shine through the passage, trusting God to work all things out while taking action as needed.
