God's providence is evident through His orchestration of events in the lives of individuals, as seen in the narrative of Ruth and Boaz.
The story of Ruth highlights God's providence in the lives of His people. Despite the challenging circumstances faced by Naomi and Ruth, God led them back to Bethlehem, ensuring that Ruth gleaned in Boaz's field, a significant act that would ultimately lead to her redemption. This account illustrates that even in what seems like random choices, God's hand is at work, guiding His people in accordance with His sovereign will. The fulfillment of His promises through the lineage of David to Jesus exemplifies how God orchestrates history for His glory and the good of His people, affirming that nothing happens outside of His divine plan.
