Every good love story needs that memorable moment when the love interests meet. It's that moment when you can just tell that there are forces at work pushing these two together. In Ruth 2, we see a meet-cute which takes place in a barley field between a wealthy land-owner and a homeless refugee. This chance meeting shows us that how God is always working toward the redemption of humanity.

Every good love story has some of the same ingredients. Conflicted people are brought together by circumstances beyond their control and are redeemed by their love which changes everything. The book of Ruth is a love story for the ages. In chapter 1, we see the tragic plight for three widows, but we also see how God, the lover of all humanity is working in the background to redeem them.

Not everything in life can be solved with brute force and strength. Many people prefer to use a shotgun approach to life (aiming everywhere hoping something will stick).

We are all in a battle against time. No matter how much we try to save it, slow it down, speed it up, or turn it back, time marches on. How do we develop a healthy relationship with time to maximize it for God's glory and our good? Psalm 90:12 gives us a few lessons.
