Ruth 2 | Covering in Destitution
Blair Robinson | March 08, 2026
Scripture: Ruth 2:1-23
Main Idea. God graciously provides covering for his destitute people through a worthy redeemer. 1. A destitute woman (Ruth) Three aspects of Ruth’s destitution: - She is a foreigner (vv.2,6,10,21). - She is poor (v.2). - She is a widow (vulnerable). 2. A worthy redeemer (Boaz) Five aspects of “why” Boaz is worthy: - He Loves the Laborers in His Field (v.4). - He Obeys the Law of the Lord (v.8). - He Provides Protective Covering (vv.9,15). - He Shows Abundant Generosity (vv.9, 14–16). - He Is a Redeemer (v.20). Takeaways. We need more men like Boaz. We need humble responses like Ruth’s (v.10). We need to glean the fields of the Lord. We need a Redeemer.
