‏ Ruth 3:18

v. 18: Naomi encouraged Ruth to be patient and wait to see what would happen. She said, Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter will turn out (Ruth 3:18 a). Naomi trusted that Boaz would be faithful and take care of everything quickly. She told Ruth to let God and Boaz work things out. This teaches us to trust God’s providence and to wait calmly for the outcome, knowing that God cares for us (Psalm 37:4–5; Psalm 138:8 b; Isaiah 30:7 c).
