A message preached by Josh recently from the book of Ruth.  In 2:18-3:5 Ruth brings back a bounty of grain to Naomi and they are excited to learn that Boaz, the generous benefactor, is a redeemer for the family. But is Naomi seeing Boaz as simply a solution to her earthly woes, or is she seeing a great provision for redemption brought about by Yahweh? We will consider Naomi's scheme and what this great little book is teaching us to help us understand what God has to say to us here in Ruth. Here is my main idea from the text, "when your heart is bitter consider the loving-kindness of the Lord, for by it He patiently leads us to repentance."
