Arrive

Boaz blesses Ruth, a migrant widow gleaning for survival, and recognises her courageous loyalty to Naomi.

Read the surrounding paragraph before returning to the featured verse. Notice what comes before the familiar words and what faithful response follows them.

Reflect

Boaz blesses Ruth, a migrant widow gleaning for survival, and recognises her courageous loyalty to Naomi.

Refuge under God’s wings becomes tangible through land access, food, protection and the responsible use of social power.

Ask how your prayer for someone’s refuge can become practical welcome, provision or advocacy.

The page leaves room around the words because reflection does not need to be crowded. Colour as much or as little as helps you remain attentive. The goal is not a finished art project, but a truthful meeting between Scripture and the life you are actually living.

Pause and notice

A few questions to sit with

What risks has Ruth carried into this field?
How does Boaz participate in the refuge he names?
What practical shelter can you help provide?

Pray

Faithful God, meet me in Ruth 2:12. Give me honesty about its context, wisdom for my own circumstances and courage to put its truth into loving practice. Amen.
