Favor to the Humble

by Alistair Begg

Ruth 2:4–13
 (ID: 2241)

Sometimes we’re called to step out in faith, not knowing the destination or the outcome. Ruth literally had to step out in faith as she went to the barley fields seeking someone in whose eyes she could find favor. As she proceeded in a seemingly random direction, God was actually ordering the events of her life, leading her to work, food, and a dramatically different future. Ruth had committed herself to the God of Israel—and, Alistair Begg teaches, she would soon discover that He was able to do immeasurably more than she could ever ask or imagine.
