Ruth 3:15-18

Ruth 3:15-18 Also he (Boaz) said, Bring the vail that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she (Ruth) held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she went into the city. And when she came to her mother in law (Naomi), she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her. And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law. Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day. When Boaz woke up at midnight and recognized Ruth in the night, he realized that she was as interested in him as he was in her. So, early in the morning before the sun came up, Boaz sent Ruth back to Naomi with a gift of barley grain. Ruth didn’t have a bag with her, so Boaz filled up her cloth vail and Ruth went home before sunrise. When Naomi heard Ruth coming in, it was still dark and she couldn’t even see who it was. When Ruth gave her the gift of grain from Boaz, Naomi knew his intentions. He would do what he had to in order to marry Ruth. Naomi was excited. Even though she only had a widow daughter-in-law, she still might have grandchildren. Naomi could see that God was still working for her. Wasn’t God good!
