What happens when the redemptive story stalls? Do some stories never reach the redemptive moment? In Ruth 3, we learn that all three of the main players in this story have to make themselves vulnerable to the continued providence of God. Or as we like to call it, “take a step of faith.” This leads to the climactic moment of the story. Ruth laying at the feet of Boaz in the quiet of night with no one watching. Will Boaz consume her or redeem her? His choice makes all the difference.
