<p><br></p><p>The story of Ruth reveals how God specializes in restoring what appears permanently lost. When Naomi lost her husband and sons, leaving her empty and bitter, she couldn't see God's plan unfolding. Through Ruth's faithfulness and Boaz's role as kinsman redeemer, God restored not only Naomi's family line but also her hope. This restoration came through God's established laws and covenant faithfulness, not human manipulation or shortcuts. Ruth's journey from Moabite foreigner to honored wife demonstrates God's grace in elevating the humble. Ultimately, this story points to Jesus Christ, our ultimate Redeemer who restores sinners to God forever.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
