<p>Ruth chapter 3 reveals that trusting in God's sovereignty doesn't mean passive waiting—it calls for bold, faithful action. Naomi devised a risky plan for Ruth to approach Boaz at the threshing floor, and Ruth courageously proposed marriage to him as her kinsman-redeemer. Boaz responded with integrity, promising to redeem her if the closer relative declined, while honoring God's established order. After taking wise, biblically informed action, Naomi demonstrated trust-filled patience, knowing God would work through their obedience. This passage challenges us to examine where we might be using God's sovereignty as an excuse for inactivity in relationships, evangelism, holiness, and service.</p>
