Ruth 2 picks up immediately after Ruth and Naomi arrive in Bethlehem. Destitute, they seek the favor of a landowner so they may gather food from the edges of the field. But what happens is a description of God's divine, providential hand, giving these two widows protection and provision not just in the short term, but in the long term. The call of Ruth 2 is to come and find refuge in God and discover the riches of his kindness to empower faithful obedience.
