Ruth 3 | A Risky Move

How has Naomi's attitude changed since chapter 1 where she despaired of Ruth ever getting married again? Why do you think her attitude has changed?

What plan does she come up with?

What do you think about her plan?

Is the plan appropriate? Why or why not?

What do we learn about Ruth from this passage? Does she do everything Naomi instructs?

What observations do you have about Boaz's communication in verses 10-13?

What impressed Boaz about Ruth?

What decision did Boaz make?

What does the word 'redeem' mean? How is this similar to Christ redeeming us?

Read Romans 3:24, 1 Corinthians 1:30, Ephesians 1:7, Hebrews 9:12. What do they say about redemption?

What character quality of Boaz does Naomi allude to in verse 18?

Have you ever been tempted to do the right thing in the wrong way? What was the outcome?

Read Psalm 37:4-7 and Luke 10:41-42. How do we balance resting in the Lord and waiting patiently on him to act with using the gifts he has given us to make plans and take action?
