Not a coincidence but God's providence

 And she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech. Ruth 2:3

It is written; ‘’And she happened to come... ‘, but that meeting was not a coincidence, but God's plan. God's way of working is wonderful, He works in a simple way and accomplishes His extraordinary plans through everyday, ordinary things. God had guided Ruth's steps to the field of Boaz, but it was her decision to take care of her mother-in-law that led her there in the first place. Poverty also played a role in God's plan, as it motivated Ruth to do hard work and end up in the right place at the right time. Ruth's willingness to worship the God of Israel and her humility and diligence were key factors in the implementation of God's plan, which ultimately led to her becoming an ancestor of Jesus. Ruth's goal was only to find food for the day, but God's plan was more glorious. Ruth's decision to serve the God of Israel, the difficult condition of two widows, and Ruth's humility and diligence played an important role in the implementation of God’s plan.

If I worship the true God and perform my usual, daily duties faithfully, the Lord will bring into my life "coincidences" that He Himself has planned.
