UNDERSTANDING THE TEXT
Give everyone 3-5 minutes to read through Ruth chapter 2 on their own (or read it aloud together).
What does Ruth ask Naomi in verse 2, and what does that show us about her character?
How would you describe Ruth's attitude as she begins to glean in the fields?
What do we learn about Boaz’s character in verses 4–9?
How does Ruth respond to Boaz’s kindness (vv. 10–13)?
DISCERNING THE MEANING
How does God’s control and plan show up in this chapter without being directly mentioned?
What might Ruth’s decision to glean tell us about taking initiative even when things feel hopeless?
In what ways does Boaz "speak blessing" into Ruth’s life? How can our words have similar power?
How did God's plan move forward even through small, seemingly mundane actions?
What does this chapter show us about the relationship between God's control and our responsibility?
CHOOSING A RESPONSE
What do you have (skills, resources, influence) that you could use to serve someone else this week?
Where might God be calling you to “do what you can” instead of waiting for perfect conditions?
Who in your life needs a word of blessing or encouragement right now? Will you commit to speak it this week?
What area of your life feels out of control right now? How can Ruth 2 help you trust God more in that space?
What’s one attitude shift you need to make in order to align your choices more closely with God's plan?
