While everyone else in Israel did what was right in the own eyes, Boaz and Ruth obeyed the LORD. Their righteousness creates a refuge where their neighbors can taste the goodness of God. Life in a world polluted by sin and darkness is filled to the brim with struggles with suffering and sin. How do we respond to God and the world when the temptation is to do what’s right in our own eyes? Obey God’s way, behold God’s work.
