WEEKLY REFLECTIONS

 1.   Background: Read Genesis 19:30-38.  What does this passage teach us about the origins of the Moabite people?  What stigmas would such a beginning bring? 

2.   What parallels do you see between Genesis 19:30-38 and Ruth 3:2-8?  Why would this plan appeal to Naomi? 

3.   How does Ruth’s behavior differ than that of her ancestor, Lot’s daughter? 

4.   What is the result of Ruth’s faithfulness? 

5.   Ruth asks Boaz to step in as her kinsman-redeemer.  What does that mean?  Read Leviticus 25:25-55 for more information.

6. Do you think God is calling you to put your faith in action?Or to patiently wait on his provision?Who might he be calling you to care for?What might he be calling you to wait for?
