How do we know God's sovereignty is evident in the Book of Ruth?

The Book of Ruth, while focusing on the narrative of personal lives, is underscored by God’s sovereign plan. Even though Elimelech’s departure to Moab stems from his own poor decision and lack of faith, God's purpose remains intact. As the preacher elucidates, ultimately, Ruth, a Moabite, becomes part of the lineage of Christ through her marriage to Boaz, which showcases God's ability to redeem situations for His glory despite human frailty. This theme of divine sovereignty, intertwined with human responsibility, ensures that God's will prevails throughout the events chronicled in the Scripture.
