1. Every believer has a story where looking back we see God’s providence, where it just so happened, where we didn’t recognize God’s hand at the time. What’s your story?

2. There were several examples used from Scripture of God’s providence - Joseph, Moses, Mary, Paul. Which one stood out to you? Can you think of other examples? Are there practical or theological limits to God’s providence? Why don’t we see them?

3. What do we know so far about Boaz? What do we know so far about Ruth?
