This week we'll begin with Ruth chapter 2 verse 8.
Something to think about: what is the role of "chance" in the Book of Ruth (consider Ruth 2:3)? How much seems to be directly influenced by God's actions, and where is God to be found in each of the relationships among the characters? Ruth is not a book in which God's presence and actions are often overtly discussed (as, for example, in Genesis).
Some passages to consider in which this concept of "chance" arises (at least, the same word in Hebrew is used) are: Ecclesiastes 2:15 and 1 Samuel 6:9.
