A Promise Made

Naomi desires to see her faithful daughter, Ruth, in a place of long-term care and security. Boaz has made clear his intention to provide this in the short-term. Could he not then perhaps be the answer for the future? Naomi sends Ruth with instructions to make this appeal. Boaz is honoured by her request and promises that he will indeed make good on this opportunity to give Ruth and Naomi a home and a family forever! Being an honourable man, he tells Ruth how this must come about so that no one could doubt or contest this act of redemption. All that is left for Ruth and Naomi to do is to rejoice in this good turn and wait for its fulfillment!
