Description: Jim Hamilton argues that Ruth chapter 2 teaches God's people not to worry about their prospects or grow bitter at his providence, but to trust the Lord and follow his instructions, as Ruth does when she gleans according to the Torah's provision for widows and sojourners, and as Boaz does by using his strength and influence to protect and provide for the vulnerable rather than exploit them.
