 WEEKLY REFLECTIONS

 1.   Conversation Starter: When was the last time you felt like an outsider?  Where were you?  How did it make you feel?  What helped you feel more included?

 2.   Ruth did not know Boaz or the culture of Bethlehem.  How do you think she felt gleaning in the fields?  How does her statement in Ruth 1:16-17 impact her behavior?

 3.   Have you ever had to put your life in the hands of a stranger?  What did that feel like?

 4.   Have you ever seen God’s providence at work in your life?  What other examples of his providence are evident in the Scripture?

5.   How does Boaz go above and beyond the call of obedience in Ruth 2?  Read Leviticus 19:9-10, 23:22, and Deuteronomy 24:17-22 to learn more about “gleaning”.

6.  How does Boaz’s response to Ruth foreshadow the love of Christ?How is it similar?How is it different?
