Ruth 2:5 "Then Boaz asked his foreman, "Who is that young woman over there? Who does she belong to?" Ruth was in the field gleaning behind the servants of Boaz when she suddenly caught the eye of Boaz. Little did she or Boaz realize that Providence was at work. It was not a meeting of chance, but of a divinely appointed nature. What was it in Ruth that caught the eye of Boaz? After all, she was a foreigner; she was a widow in need; and, she was stricken with what appeared to be a bad lot in life. However, it was her faith in the law of Moses that caused her to seek a field to glean in.
In this story of Boaz and Ruth we see a picture of Christ and the sinner. In this story we see grace at work. Boaz was kind and gracious to Ruth out of the pure goodness and love in his heart. She caught the eye of the "lord of the field." The good news is, you have caught the eye of the "Lord of the field." And just like Boaz instructed his servants and workers to be kind to Ruth and drop some extra blessings in her path, so the "Lord of the field" has left instructions to drop some blessing in your path.
Little did Ruth realize that this encounter with Boaz was going to change her life and fulfill God's plan and purpose. God is about to change your life, your circumstances and He is about to fulfill His purpose and plan to bless you and not harm you. Fear not, for you have caught the eye of the "Lord (Master) of the field."
