Make me a servant

What really struck me about Ruth is her great attitude of service. She stays with Naomi after her husband dies and is clearly devoted to her. Then you see the providence of God as Ruth gleans in Boaz's fields and events unfold. Ruth goes from being a Moabite, who I'm guessing did not serve God, to giving birth to a son in the lineage of Christ and having her story recorded in the Bible! She wasn't looking out for herself when she left Moab with Naomi, but God was clearly looking out for her.
