Last week we defined providence as God’s holy and definite plan working through the lives of people, places, and things. The Apostle Paul expresses the dynamic of God’s providence like this: “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28).

Today, we will discover the providence of God as the storyteller unveils four scenes in which Boaz pursues Ruth with a passionate, risk-taking love. MP3 download.
