Thank you. There are times in our lives when we can't see beyond the next move.

We have to trust God and step out in faith.

Today on Truth for Life, we'll see an example of this in Ruth's approach to Boaz,

and we'll learn how Boaz's response foreshadowed our ultimate kinsman Redeemer.

Alistur Begg is teaching from Ruth Chapter 3, focusing on verses 7 through 18.

Thank you. on verses 7 through 18. Ruth didn't know but beyond,

wash your face, put on your claws,

put some perfume on, uncover his feet,

and then take it from there.

That's not exactly what you would call

a rock solid plan, is it? There's a bit of

uncertainty there. And yet she proceeds. And verse 9 to 13, then you have the dialogue in the

darkness. Dialogue in the darkness. She goes down. He's lying at the far end of the grain

pile. Not exactly what you would call a romantic picture, is it? He's got all his clothes on, presumably. Who knows how big his belly is or as a result of all the food he's been eating? He's certainly pushing grain around like crazy. There's no guarantee. I think he looks like a topaw and fiddle around the roof myself.

That's that's him, you know. Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset. You know, that's the kind of flavor here.

Is this the little girl I carried?

Is this the little boy I knew?

So there he is, snoring down at the end of the grain pile.

And Ruth, because her mother-in-law said, is going down, and next she has to uncover his feet, which he does.

And in the middle of the night, verse 8, something startled the man, and he turned over, and he discovered a woman lying at his feet.

Who are you? he asked.

He said, well, what do you mean, who are you? He asked. He knew who Ruth was.
