This week we encounter Act Three of the drama, and it somewhat mirrors chapter two in its layout — three different scenes with the three main characters. Ruth 2:12 showed us Boaz praying for God to “fully reward” Ruth for all that she had done. Chapter three begins to unfold how this prayer comes to fruition in Ruth’s life, and Boaz discovers that sometimes we are the answer to our own prayers! From these scenes a picture emerges of how both divine and human action collaborate together.
