Ruth 2
We have a "near kinsman" who is mighty and of great wealth - 1
Even when we know Him not, He is available
He is capable in every way
He is a prudent, providential (caring), providing, and proper kinsman. - 3-9
His field is where we must go
He is the right lineage to be our kinsman
He has met our need
He is aware of our need
He is willing to meet our need
He wants to meet our need
We approach the Lord as a stranger - 10
We have no ability to provide for our own help
We are (were) away from the presence of God
He will give to us to eat
The Lord knows when we look away from this life and look toward Him, and He welcomes us to commune with Him. 11-14
The Lord sees our need to leave dependence on this life's elements
We need to turn from false gods of this world (vs. 12 refers to turning from her country's false gods)
When we answer to the Lord He hears
He knocks on our hearts door
The Lord gives to us protection and provision in a timely manner. 15-17
He is in control
He takes care of us in His own way
The Lord's blessings are great. 18-23
His blessings are adequate at least
His blessings are great
His blessings are to be shared
