Boaz’s Leadership: Establishing Boundaries and Inspiring Reverence

9 Watch the field where the men are harvesting, and follow along after the women. I have told the men not to lay a hand on you. And whenever you are thirsty, go and get a drink from the water jars the men have filled.”

Boaz urged the men to abstain from any acts of unkindness towards Ruth. He encouraged them to work alongside women and treat them with respect. He specifically instructed the men to fill water jars for the women workers to drink from. Ruth, being single was advised to follow along after the women and to interact with women. Boaz established a certain dynamic among his workers when Ruth became part of the group, ensuring her safety and setting boundaries for the men working with her. This truth about Boaz deepens the admiration and reverence for him as a leader. He paves the way for Ruth to find her place and establishes her boundaries. By following his wise counsel, she could thrive day by day without lacking anything.

Furthermore, Boaz exhibits similar qualities and attributes to Jesus Christ. Just like Jesus, Boaz genuinely cared for others and understood their cares and concerns. Through the Holy Spirit and by the grace of Jesus Christ, you can have hope for the future.
