God providentially directed Ruth to the field of Boaz. You find this divine encounter in the second chapter of Ruth, verse 3: '...and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz...' The verb happened in Hebrew means 'chanced upon'. This leaves no room for manipulation. She has a chance and her chance transported her into the center of God's will and right into Boaz's field.
If God wants you married, He will orchestrate the encounter. You have nothing to fear except getting in His way and trying to 'write the script' rather than following His. Jesus does have your best interest at heart. He desires to bless you by giving you the best. Sometimes what you perceive as the best is nothing more than a generic version. Consider His wisdom and love in comparison to your own wisdom and self-love. In whom are you going to trust- all Wisdom and Everlasting Love or little ol' finite you?
Ever since the Garden of Eden, women have often felt they could and should know as much as God. Much pain in our world has resulted from dependence on our wisdom rather than on our Father's.
