Yesterday we looked at the providence of God in Ruth's life as she "happened" to go to the field of Boaz. We learned that God, through narratives such as this one, teaches us about his ways and character. However, it's hard to read and interpret his providence while it is taking place. We typically have to wait and read his providence after the fact. In light of this discussion, I think these words by the great divine Thomas Watson are helpful:
Providence is a Christian's diary, not his Bible (Thomas Watson, A Body of Divinity, 123).
