"Now Naomi had a relative on her husband's side, a man of standing from the clan of Elimelek, whose name was Boaz". All the single people, shout, "Boaz". Shout to the Lord, "Bring me my Boaz". We've been learning about this. Ruth, who the book is named after, does not go into the field looking for Boaz; she's just looking for barley…food. She's just doing what she has to do to survive. She's not even on a dating app. Really, the story is not about marriage at all. It's not so much a romantic story; it's a redemption story. What is so refreshing to me about Ruth (I don't know for you)… Her sense of responsibility is refreshing for me, because I live in a time of such entitlement.
