Ruth 2:3 Then she (Ruth) left, and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers. And she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
Ruth didn't know she was going to the field which was owned by the richest land owner in the area, she was led there by the Holy Spirit. She 'happened' to come to that part of the field and the Holy Spirit gave her favour with Boaz. He fell in love with her and she went from being one of the poorest, to the wife of the richest, and only God could have orchestrated that for her.
In the same way when we ask the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us He will place us where it 'happens' to be to our advantage, where we shall find the favour of God on our lives too.
Psalm 5:12 For You O Lord will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield.
Ruth had made a declaration in Ruth 1:16 where she said to Naomi "Your God shall be my God". From then on she was going to totally depend on Naomi's God for her future and when God saw that, His favour was all over her.
I hope that encourages us all today to look to our God who loves us so, to trust Him to do as He says and surround us with His wonderful favour as this year begins to unfold; to continue believing the Holy Spirit is guiding all our steps into those right places and right times for us as well, to have a spirit of expectation of the goodness of God in our lives.😊 Thank You Lord.
