Spiritual SignificanceSpiritual Significance
Naomi – God can turn your mourning into dancing.
Ruth – We like Ruth are outsiders who can come to faith in God. After we do, we must imitate God’s faithfulness in our relationship with others.
Boaz – God is sensitive to our needs and will use others to provide for us. We must step up to our responsibility to care for God’s people with integrity.
