THE STORY OF RUTH - ( PART 3 )

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

GOD MADE SURE - BOAZ LIKED WHAT HE SAW .


It's amazing how someone different - new - young -
Can turn the heads - wag the tongues - catch the eye.
Whether intended or not - The latter in Ruth's case -
But - notice they did .
And even Boaz - Mature - Single - Unattached - the Boss  
Even he noticed - and liked what he saw.
To the extent - that he made enquiries -
Who is She ?
To whom does she belong ?
Good question  - Not intrusive - just a general ' throw out '
But - he really liked the answers.
She was widowed - Single now - and caring for Naomi .
Hard working - gentle - Compassionate and strong 
Hmm - Boaz really liked what he had heard !  
And saw !
His interest - was becoming stirred .

And so the story unfolds - as Boaz approaches Ruth 
Interested - Genuine - Friendly - Generous - Protective.
No-one was to bother her - In his fields - at least .
No winks - nods - inuendoes - touches .
Or they would answer to his wrath .
Just manners - courtesy - acceptance - and integrity .
That alone - would be good enough for me ! 
But GOD - was still edging HIS players forward .
They neither knew that  - at this stage at least .
But - forward they would go .
As long as each one - ' played ' their part .
Into their - Intended - Destiny.

Even Naomi was waking up  - as if from sleep .
In her case - from melancholy - despair - ' giving-up-ness '.
The old Godly spark - was re-igniting once again -
Giving her ideas !
Something twigged !  A Plan - that could change - Everything !
This Boaz - was no ordinary - Run-of-The-Mill man.
He was - the Top Man - in Authority and Power !
' Talk about ladder climbing '
Naomi had set her sights extremely high !
And to top all that - He was a Relative as well .
And a Near one - at that !  Wow !
What could possibly - beat that ? And - Besides -
If we did not know better - we'd have thought -
That Naomi had devised this plan -  herself .
Thank GOD - HE - was the Instigator- Planner 
Guide .


""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

( In answer to the question ' Is Boaz GOD '
  NO he is not , but he is a Type or example of 
  GOD in human form . He is known as a 
  Kinsman Redeemer . Which is what JESUS
  is to all who believe in HIM.)
