How does God direct the steps of His people?

The sovereignty of God is a cornerstone of Reformed theology that affirms God's control over all aspects of life, including the paths of His people. In Ruth's journey to glean in Boaz's field, we see God's providential hand at work. What might appear as happenstance is actually God's predestined plan, guiding Ruth to the very place where she would find grace and eventual salvation. This reflects the truth that God orchestrates all events for the ultimate good of those who love Him, as seen in Romans 8:28.
