Some believe that spirituality can replace hard work. However, Ruth did not sit at home praying for food when she knew that God’s Law allowed her to glean in the fields. Ruth was a hard-working, virtuous woman, which probably did as much to catch Boaz’s attention as her physical beauty. In the words of James, Ruth showed her faith in God by her works. She believed that God’s favor finds faithful people. Please open your Bible to Ruth chapter two, verse eight, and listen as Dylan Ocorr completes his discussion of this chapter.
