When Namoi encouraged her two widow daughters-in-law to return to their homes, Ruth made a declaration. Ruth 1:16-17. She was determined. She had no idea what her destiny would be, or what the Lord had preordained for her to walk in. 

Ruth was tenacious, hard working, dedicated, and faithful. Boaz commended her, then asked the Lord to bless her. Ruth 2:10-11, “…fully reported to me…The Lord repay your work, and a full reward be given you by the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings you have come for refuge.”

Note: Deuteronomy 23:3 says, “An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter the assembly of the Lord; even to the tenth generation none of his descendants shall enter the assembly of the Lord forever.”

The Lord used Boaz to redeem Ruth. She bore him Obed, the father of Jesse, the father of David ~ whose line our Redeemer would come. Ephesians 1:7. Nothing is in vain ~ the Lord redeems it all.
