God's choice to visit His people is grounded in His sovereign will and eternal purpose as revealed in scripture.
The certainty of God's visitation to His people is rooted in His sovereign will and divine election. As expressed in Ephesians 1:4-5, God chose a people for Himself before the foundation of the world. Thus, His visits are not arbitrary but intentional acts of grace. The narrative of Naomi returning from Moab illustrates this principle, as she perceives God's favor towards His people. The visits come as a response to His promises and serve to restore, redeem, and draw His people close to Him. This divine orchestration underscores that not all hear the call, as in the case of those who remain in Moab, absent of His visiting grace.
