One of the most infamous bible stories that every single woman knows is that of Ruth and Boaz.

There’s even a book called “God Where Is My Boaz: A woman’s guide to understanding what’s hindering her from receiving the love and man she deserves”.
We know the outcome of the story but do we examine Ruth’s journey. As single Christian women what route are you taking to the journey of God’s promises for your life? Are you looking for Boaz or are you preparing to be a Proverb 31 woman and putting your concerns on the Lord’s affairs and how you can please Him.

    The Book of Ruth begins with this: “Now it came to pass, in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land.” (Ruth 1:1 NKJV). Even though the times were bad during the judges, “one wonders how the Israelites could have gone so wrong” (Hill&Walton, 2009, p.245) understand that, “In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes” (Judges 17:6) or rather they did not follow the law. Judges is a story of a deteriorating nation, and as such, it is a picture of deteriorating Christian life. Even so, in Ruth we read that there were still men like Boaz who obeyed God’s law, and showed compassion to those in need. And of Ruth who cared for her mother in law, and worked hard to provide for her even though Naomi tried to send her away- back to her family’s home. Ruth showed a deep commitment to Naomi; binding herself to Naomi, to the land of Israel, and to the God of Israel.…

    To begin, the narration style of this piece is extremely effective in showing how the two lives are alike and also how they differ. Having both perspectives aids the reader, giving a firsthand glimpse at each person's thoughts by not having to go through another person to state it. One very significant difference in the lives of the two is how their fathers acted. Ruth had a father that “would get in bed with her at night and do things to her sexually that she could not tell anyone about”(42). Her father also had no love for black people, nor his own wife. James, on the other hand had two fathers, both of which were always very kind to…
