Boaz
A worthy landowner who redeemed Ruth and her family line
Boaz was a man of standing in Bethlehem and a relative of Naomi's late husband. He noticed Ruth gleaning in his field, protected her, and quietly made sure she had more than enough. He handled the legal matter at the city gate with integrity, married Ruth, and became the great-grandfather of King David.

What Boaz teaches you
Faith. God often provides through ordinary kindness, so let your faith show up in how you protect and bless people who are struggling.
Family. Honor and protect the people in your care, and keep your conduct pure even when no one would know otherwise.
Business and calling. Run your business with open integrity, leave margin for those in need, and settle matters properly instead of cutting corners.
