Sometimes the boldest thing we can do is take one simple step. Ruth begins rebuilding her life by doing something ordinary: she goes to a field to gather leftover grain so she and Naomi can eat. That small act of courage places her in the right place at the right time.

This sermon looks at how everyday choices—acts of kindness, moments of humility, quiet openness—can shape our future in ways we don’t expect. Ruth’s willingness to act, even without clear answers, invites us to consider what a “next step” might look like in our own lives.
