The Book of Ruth is a very short story that you could finish the whole book in one sitting. Other aspect that could make you read this to end is its interesting plot of all drama and a happy ending. In fact, it could be compared to a fairytale many kids enjoy reading.
Above this truth is the goodness of the Lord being portrayed in the story. We can see that along the stream of the narrative, Ruth’s kindness to her mother-in-law was apparent. She never leave Naomi to lonesome but stayed with her all throughout, helping her in living and obeying her every requests.
God’s eyes are not blind to this kind-heartedness. He rewards every righteousness that a man does. And so He did with Ruth.
After the death of first husband, to being a servant out the field and all, she had a happy ending marrying Boaz, and then gave to a son lining up the genealogy of David, the forebears of Jesus.
In the bible, blessed women are being lined-up in the genealogy of the Savior. And it is like God’s own way of giving them honor for the good works they have done.
