The story of Ruth and Boaz provides a surprising illustration of a woman proposing marriage, guided by the cultural practice of the Levirate law. This law established the role of a kinsman-redeemer, a relative obligated to provide for a widow and preserve a family line. Finding God's will, especially in marriage, is less about receiving detailed instructions for every step and more about surrendering oneself to His sovereign purpose. When two people, like Ruth and Boaz, recognise in each other a worthy character and a shared commitment to the God of Israel, The Lord, they can trust that God will overrule circumstances to bring about His good and perfect will.
