Let's see what seemed to 'just happen' to Ruth: "Then she (Ruth) left, and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers. And she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech." Ruth 2:3What appears to be by accident was no accident that Ruth happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz. She did not know Boaz nor did she know whose field to whom she was gleaning from as Naomi did not tell her.
This was God directing the steps of Ruth. This was God moving events and guiding the life of Ruth to a very special purpose that will unfold as the 'big picture' comes into focus.
God directs our paths in life just as He did with Ruth. God is constantly working with us (Mark 16:20), in us (Philippians 2:12-13), and for us (Romans 8:28) and accomplishing His gracious purposes. So remember - A man's heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps. Proverbs 16:9, Psalms 37:23
