"At mealtime Boaz said to her, "Come over here. Have some bread and dip it in the wine vinegar." (Ruth 2:14) "So Ruth gleaned in the field until evening. Then she threshed the barley she had gathered, and it amounted to about an ephah.[a] 18 She carried it back to town, and her mother-in-law saw how much she had gathered. Ruth also brought out and gave her what she had leftover after she had eaten enough…" (Ruth 2:17) "For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things." (Psalm 107:9) "So Boaz said to Ruth, "My daughter, listen to me. Don't go and glean in another field and don't go away from here. Stay here with the women who work for me. 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." (Ruth 2:8) "So Ruth stayed close to the women of Boaz to glean until the barley and wheat harvests were finished." (Ruth 2:23) Naomi took her sons in the Moabite area and they married Moabite women when they are of age. And then after 10 years, her sons died and Naomi lost her husband. And so she decided to go back to the land of Bethlehem because she heard that God has visited there and brought food. So be satisfied in that experience and practice satisfaction and contentment by knowing that God wants to do amazing things in your life.
