  • Read Ruth 3

After this reading, you may be wondering what a guardian-redeemer is. A guardian-redeemer was a close, influential relative to whom members of the extended family could turn to for help, usually when the family line or possessions were in danger of being lost.

  • Perhaps you cannot relate to the exact scenario in this chapter, but can you relate to being in a vulnerable situation and needing help?
  • Where do you see mercy operating in this chapter?
  • What evidence might Ruth have from the previous chapters that God was going to provide for her?
